Etymology
'appropriate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'appropriatus,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'proprius' meant 'own.' 'Mix' originates from Latin 'miscere,' meaning 'to mix or mingle.'
'appropriate' changed from the Latin word 'appropriatus' and eventually became the modern English word 'appropriate.' 'Mix' evolved from the Latin 'miscere' to the Old English 'miscian,' and eventually to the modern English 'mix.'
Initially, 'appropriate' meant 'to make one's own,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'suitable or proper.' 'Mix' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to combine or blend.'
