Morphology
intermediator = intermediate (transparent) = inter + mediate + or
Formed from the familiar element 'intermediate' with the agentive '-or', so the meaning 'person who intermediates' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Intermediator comes from the parts inter- meaning 'between' and medi- meaning 'middle', the same idea you see in middle and mediate. So an intermediator is someone who stands 'between' two sides in the 'middle' to help them agree.
