Note
Only the verb behind the adjective and noun intermediate has a past form, so this spelling always signals an action, never a position in a range. It works in two ways. Used intransitively, someone intermediated between two parties. Used transitively, a deal or a sale is intermediated in the manner of a broker. Only the transitive use can turn passive, as in funds intermediated through a clearinghouse.
For years she intermediated between the two families.
A retired diplomat had intermediated between the rival factions before the talks began.
