Etymology

Of uncertain origin and not attested in Vedic Sanskrit. Tedesco reconstructs this late root as a Sanskritization of early Prakrit *𑀫𑀺𑀮𑁆𑀳 (*milha, “mixed”), from मिश्र (miśra, “mixed”).[1] Mayrhofer supports this and also notes Vedic l-variant मिश्ल (miśla, “mixed”) from which this root would be derived.

Turner rejects this origin on the basis that this root and its descendants show no evidence of the aspiration of -l- and Prakrit *𑀫𑀺𑀮𑁆𑀳 (*milha, “mixed”) is unattested in favor of 𑀫𑀺𑀲 (misa), 𑀫𑀻𑀲 (mīsa), 𑀫𑀺𑀲𑁆𑀲 (missa). He instead reconstructs mil ~ mēl ~ miḍ as a differentiation of older मील् (mīl, “to close the eyes”), undergoing a semantic shift evidenced by Vedic मीलित (mīlita, “closed, together, met”).
