Morphology

commixture = mixture (transparent) = com + mix + ture

Formed by adding the prefix 'com-' (together) to the common noun 'mixture'; the meaning 'the act or result of mixing together' is directly derived.

Etymology

Commixture comes from the parts com- ('together') and mixture ('mixing'). It is like the everyday word mix, so a commixture is different things put together by mixing.
