Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *mixtāre,[1][2] from Latin mixtus; less likely from a Vulgar Latin *miscitāre,[3] as there is already an archaic or literary Italian word mescidare[4] or miscidare[5] which derives from this word (compare also Friulian messedâ, Venetian mesedar, Romansch maschadar, masdar). All of these terms ultimately stem from Latin misceō (mix).
