vermischt

Vermischt is a German term that serves as the past participle of vermischen and as an adjective meaning "mixed" or "blended." It describes substances or states in which components have been combined, and it is used in passive constructions such as Die Lösung wurde vermischt.

Etymology and grammar: The word derives from vermischen (to mix). When used attributively, it takes inflected forms such as vermischte (feminine/neuter singular or masculine singular with definite article) and vermischte Mischung; for indefinite: eine vermischte Substanz. As a predicate adjective, it can appear in sentences like Die Zutaten sind vermischt.

Usage: Common in cooking, chemistry, and everyday language. Examples: Die Zutaten sind vermischt. Die chemische Lösung ist gut vermischt. Die Farben wurden vermischt, um einen neuen Ton zu erzeugen. In technical writing, vermischt may contrast with unvermischt or homogen, depending on context.

Related terms: vermengen (to mix together, to merge), Vermischung (the act or result of mixing), Mischung (mixture), Mischungsverhältnis (proportion of mixing). Usage notes: Vermischt emphasizes the state of having components blended, while vermengen emphasizes the action of combining. Vermischung can refer to either the process or the result of mixing.
