The act or process of blending or mixing substances together, or a mixture resulting from such a process.
Derived from 'brend' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ice' (or '-ise'), a common Old and Middle English method of creating abstract nouns describing actions or states.
This suffix pattern '-ice' (like in justice, practice, service) was once far more productive in English for turning verbs into nouns—'brendice' shows how medieval people talked about the chemical or culinary process of mixing.
