Morphology

mediatorial = mediator (transparent) = mediator + ial

Formed from the noun 'mediator' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ial', so the relation 'relating to a mediator' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Mediatorial comes from the same root as mediator, from the Latin medius meaning 'middle'. So to be mediatorial is to act as a 'middle' person who helps two sides reach an agreement.
