misc

“misc” is a Latin word. Its meaning in English:

verb

  1. Pranestine form of misceō (“to mix”)

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *mi(k)skō. Unlike Latin misceō, which was remodeled as a second-conjugation verb, the Praenestine term may preserve the original third-conjugation form. The issue hinges upon whether the term reflects underlying miscē or miscĕ. In the former case, it would reflect a second-conjugation verb, whereas in the latter it would represent a third-conjugation form.
