Morphology

ready-mix = ready + mix (transparent) = ready + mix

The meaning is a direct combination of 'ready' + 'mix' indicating a mixture that is ready to use.

Etymology

Ready-mix is made from ready ('prepared') and mix ('ingredients combined together'), so it means a mixture that is already prepared. That's why a ready-mix for cake or bread includes most ingredients and only needs one or two fresh things added.
