- "Thalaba strove, but the thread Was woven by magic hands, And in his cheek the flush of shame Arose, commixt with fear."
- "Admiration and rapture had been so commixed, so intensely excited, that those restraints existing in polished life, the punctilios practised, the etiquette preserved,—all, in the tumultuous thoughts of Harcourt, were banished, accounted but as cold reserve and useless forms."
Etymology
From Middle English commixt, commixte, commyxt (past participle), from Latin commixtus, past participle of commisceō, with the -t later re-analyzed as the past participial ending; equivalent to com- + mix, modelled on Latin commisceō.
