Italian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Vulgar Latin *mixtāre,[1][2] from Latin mixtus; less likely from a Vulgar Latin *miscitāre,[3] as there is already an archaic or literary Italian word mescidare[4] or miscidare[5] which derives from this word (compare also Friulian messedâ, Venetian mesedar, Romansch maschadar, masdar). All of these terms ultimately stem from Latin misceō (mix).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /meˈsta.re/
  • Rhymes: -are
  • Hyphenation: me‧stà‧re

  1. (transitive) to stir
    Synonyms: mescolare, rimescolare
