Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish mesclar, from Early Medieval Latin misculāre, derived from Latin miscēre. Its evolution, like that of Portuguese miscrar, is somewhat unexpected. Compare macho < Latin masculus, with early -scul- > -scl- > /t͡ʃ/. It may be that syncope occurred relatively late for misculāre (cf. the unsyncopated Italian variant mescolare). Alternatively, /kl/ may simply have failed to palatalize as in claro or clavo. Very unlikely to be borrowed from Catalan mesclar.
