Mercy Seat

When such prestigious translations as the NASB and NRSV translate
hILASTHRIOV as "mercy seat" (Heb.9:5), I assume there is a reason beyond
mere tradition, but I can't find it with my rather meager resources.  Is
there any particular reason for not using "place of propitiation," or
some such?  Thanks.
