The word "mixture" comes from the Latin word "mixtura," which means "a blending." The Latin word "mixtura" is derived from the verb "miscere," which means "to mix.".
The word "mixture" was first used in English in the 14th century. It originally had a more literal meaning, referring to the act of mixing two or more substances together. However, the meaning of the word has expanded over time to include any combination of two or more things, even if they are not physically mixed together.
