intermediacy
State of between
Intermediacy is the state of being intermediate—occupying a position between two points, stages, or extremes.
The word appears mainly in academic or technical writing: the intermediacy of the transition state in chemical reactions, the intermediacy of middle management between executives and workers.
It describes the quality of serving as a middle step or go-between.
