The Chinese word 中介 (zhōngjiè) for "intermediary" or "mediator" is composed of two characters: 中 (zhōng) and 介 (jiè). 中 means "middle" or "center", while 介 means "to introduce" or "to mediate". Together, they form the compound word 中介, which literally means "middle-introducer" or "middleman". This term is often used in the context of business or diplomacy, where an intermediary plays a role in facilitating communication or negotiations between two parties. For example, a real estate agent acts as a 中介 between buyers and sellers, while a diplomat may serve as a 中介 in international negotiations.
