It is one of the muscles situated next to the vastus medialis and it is called like this because it has an intermediate position among other muscles.

To decide which term to use you will check the prospective reader of your translation. If you address doctors then you may keep the latin definition. If, however, you address lay readers ( advertisement, manuals ) do not forget to include the muscle nickname in brackets. Athletes are very likely to know it as frustrator |
