History of mediant
The term mediant appeared in English in 1753 to refer to the note “midway between the tonic and the dominant”.
Meaning of submediant
The submediant (“lower mediant”) is named thus because it is halfway between tonic and subdominant (“lower dominant”)[1] or because its position below the tonic is symmetrical to that of the mediant above
