Morphology

premixed = premix (transparent) = pre + mix + ed

The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'premix' and directly means 'having been mixed beforehand'.

Etymology

Premixed is made of pre- meaning 'before' and mix meaning 'to join things together', just like in mixture. So premixed means something has been mixed before you use it, which is why premixed concrete or drinks save time.
