Note
Only the verb intermediate produces this -ing form. The adjective and the nouns that share its spelling do not. The verb works in two ways. Used intransitively, it means to mediate and takes between, as when a bank stands between issuers and investors. Used transitively, it takes a direct object and means arranging something the way a broker does, as in intermediating a deal. Check whether a noun follows directly.
