Etymology

Etymology tree
Proto-Indo-European *mey-?
Proto-Indo-European *meyḱ-der.
Proto-Indo-Iranian *mićrás
Sanskrit मि॒श्र (miśrá)der.?
Sanskrit मिल्

    Of uncertain origin and not attested in Vedic Sanskrit.[1][2] Tedesco reconstructs this late root as a Sanskritization of early Prakrit *𑀫𑀺𑀮𑁆𑀳 (*milha, “mixed”), from मिश्र (miśra, “mixed”).[3] Mayrhofer supports this and also notes Vedic l-variant मिश्ल (miśla, “mixed”) from which this root would be derived.[4]

    On the other hand, Turner rejects this derivation on the basis that this root and its descendants show no evidence of the aspiration of -l- and Prakrit *𑀫𑀺𑀮𑁆𑀳 (*milha, “mixed”) is unattested in favor of 𑀫𑀺𑀲 (misa), 𑀫𑀻𑀲 (mīsa), 𑀫𑀺𑀲𑁆𑀲 (missa). He instead reconstructs mil ~ mēl ~ miḍ as a differentiation of older मील् (mīl, “to close the eyes”), undergoing a semantic shift evidenced by मीलित (mīlita, “closed, together, met”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
