释义

mishmashn.adj.

Brit. /ˈmɪʃmaʃ/, U.S. /ˈmɪʃˌmæʃ/, /ˈmɪʃˌmɑʃ/
Forms: late Middle English myssemasche, 1500s– mishmash, 1600s mishmass, 1800s mishmarsh (English regional (south-western)), 1800s– mischmasch, 1900s– mishmosh, 1900s– mishmush; Scottish 1800s meeshmash, 1800s– mishmash.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymon: mash n.1
Etymology: Reduplication (with vowel variation) of mash n.1Compare with similar reduplication and vowel variation later mizmaze n. Compare also German Mischmasch (16th cent.; a reduplication with vowel variation of mischen mix v.; compare German regional (Low German: East Friesland) miskmask); compare also Dutch mismas (18th cent.), Swedish mischmasch (1711; 1675 as miskmask), Danish miskmask, probably all < German. The forms mischmasch, mishmosh, and mishmush, and the U.S. pronunciation /ˈmɪʃˌmɑʃ/ suggest that the English word has been identified by some speakers with German Mischmasch or Yiddish mish-mash.
