mediantn.

Brit.

/ˈmiːdɪənt/, U.S.

/ˈmidiənt/

Forms: 1700s mediante, 1700s– mediant.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French médiante.

Etymology: < French médiante (1718 in sense 1), use as noun (probably short for consonance mediante , 1556 in Middle French) of the feminine singular of Old French, Middle French mediant which is in the middle (1314) < post-classical Latin mediant- , medians , present participle of mediare to be in the middle (see mediate v.). Compare Italian mediante (19th cent. in sense 1). Compare mediant adj.

Music.

1. (a) In early music: one of the three principal notes in a church mode, usually occupying a position between the final and the tenor or dominant above. (b) In modern music: the third note of an ascending diatonic scale, lying midway between the tonic and the dominant.In 16th-cent. theory, the mediant was taken to divide the interval between the final and the fifth above into a major and a minor third (G. Zarlino Istitutio harmoniche (1573) 392, where it is called la chorda mezana; cf. quot. 1740). For Zarlino it was a cadential note in polyphonic composition, but it is sometimes explained as a reciting note secondary to the tenor.
