Etymology

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