the referee who never blows a whistle, just lets both sides hear themselves think.
means A neutral third party who helps two disputing sides communicate and reach their own agreement, without imposing a decision.
from From Latin mediare, 'to be in the middle,' built on medius, 'middle' — the same root that gives us 'medium,' 'median,' and 'mediocre.' A mediator is literally the one who stands in the middle, and Latin medius traces back further to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'middle' that also fathered English 'mid' and 'midst.' The word arrived in English through Old French in the medieval period.
