Miscellaneous
Etymology: * From Middle English miscellaneus, from Late Latin miscellaneus, from miscellus "mingled, mixed," from miscere "to mix."
Meaning: * Consisting of various kinds or elements; mixed. * Of no particular kind or class; various. * Composed of miscellaneous items.
Origin: * The word miscellus is itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European root meigh-, meaning "to mix or mingle." This root is also the origin of the English words *mix and meddle.
Additional Information:
In the early 17th century, the word miscellaneous began to be used to describe a collection of writings on various topics. This sense of the word is still in use today, particularly in reference to scholarly journals and anthologies.
The word miscellaneous is often used in a derogatory or dismissive sense, to indicate something that is unimportant or unworthy of attention. However, it can also be used in a positive sense, to describe something that is interesting or valuable because of its diversity.
