'remix' originates from the Latin word 'remiscere,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'miscere' meant 'to mix.'

'remiscere' transformed into the French word 'remixer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'remix' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to mix again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to produce a different version of a musical recording.'
