Morphology

mixology = mix (semi-transparent) = mix + ology

The word is clearly based on 'mix', but the suffix '-ology' does not yield the literal meaning 'study of mixing'; the modern sense is a specialized coinage for cocktail making.

Etymology

Mixology is a modern blend of mix and the ending -ology, which means 'study of' and appears in words like biology and technology. So, mixology shows that making cocktails is seen as a skill or a 'study' of mixing drinks, not just simple pouring.
