French for mixture, used by anyone who thinks blend sounds too simple.
means A mixture or medley of different things, often used to make a jumble sound more sophisticated than it is.
from Borrowed straight from French 'mélange,' meaning mixture, which comes from the verb 'mêler,' to mix or mingle — itself descended from Latin 'miscere' (also the root of 'mix' and 'miscellaneous'). English speakers started using it in the 1600s, keeping the accent-free spelling and the faint whiff of French sophistication intact.
