Etymology

    Inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan *miśrás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mićrás, from Proto-Indo-European *miḱ-ró-s (mixed, mingled), from *meyḱ- (to mix).[1] Cognate with Lithuanian mi̇̀šras (mixed), Latin misceō (to mix), Ancient Greek μῐ́σγω (mĭ́sgō), Old English miscian (whence English mix), as well as the Sanskrit root मिक्ष् (mikṣ, to mix).
