MIX, v.t. [prep. and pp. mixed or mixt. Sax. miscan; G. mischen; Sp. mecer; Port. mexer, to stir, shake, mix; L. misceo, mixtum; It. mischiare; Ir. measgadh; W. mysgu. Arm. gemesga; Russ. meshayu. The Gr. μιγνυω forms μιξω. These words seems to coincide with the Heb. and Ch. מסך, and Ar. مَشَجَ mashaga, to mix. The Sanscrit misra, to mix, may be the same word. The radical sense is probably to stir, shake or agitate.]
