Morphology

nonmediation = mediation (transparent) = non + mediate + ion

Formed by the productive negation prefix 'non-' attached to the noun 'mediation', so the meaning is directly 'not mediation' or 'absence of mediation'.

Etymology

Nonmediation is made from the part non- meaning 'not' and mediate which comes from a root meaning 'middle', like the familiar word middle or medium. So, nonmediation means 'no middle', which explains why it describes a situation with no outside person stepping in and the parties solving things themselves.
