Bemixt

/bɪˈmɪkst/ verb

Definition

Archaic past tense of bemix; thoroughly mixed or confused.

Etymology

From 'bemix' using the older strong verb past tense ending '-t' instead of '-ed'. This represents an older English verb formation pattern.

Kelly Says

Old English had many 'strong' verbs that changed their vowels instead of adding '-ed' (like 'sing/sang/sung'), and this word preserves that ancient pattern even though it's about mixing.
