When To Use
Mediatorial means involving, relating to, or resembling a mediator—a person who mediates or helps to settle a dispute or create agreement when there is conflict between two or more people or groups by acting as an intermediary or go-between for those parties.This process is called mediation, and it always involves a mediator acting as an impartial third party to guide the communication between the conflicting parties.Sometimes, mediation happens in an informal way. You might act in a mediatorial capacity to help two friends settle an argument. But mediation and related terms are perhaps most commonly used in more specific ways in formal situations, such as mediation between a company and its striking employees or mediation between spouses who are getting divorced.Example: I tried to take a mediatorial role to smooth things over between my sisters.
