Other forms: mixed; mixing; mixes

To mix is to combine or blend different things together. If you mix baking soda and vinegar, you can create an erupting volcano for your science project.

Scientists mix chemical substances; bakers mix flour, eggs, milk, and sugar; and songwriters mix different musical elements — in each of these cases, the result is also a mix, a combination of different things into a new whole. The word mix comes from the Middle English adjective mixte, «composed of more than one element,» which is rooted in the Latin miscere, «to mix or blend,» and also «to throw into confusion.»
