/ˌmɪsədʒəˈneɪʃ(ə)n/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin miscēre , genus , -ation suffix.

Etymology: Irregularly < classical Latin miscēre to mix (see mixed adj.²) + genus race (see genus n.) + -ation suffix. Coined by David Goodman Croly and George Wakeman in an anonymously published hoax pamphlet circulated in 1863, which implied that the American Republican party favoured mixed-race relationships (see quot. 1863 at sense 1). Compare Portuguese miscigenação (c1960).

Originally U.S.

1. Mixing of or reproduction between different racial or ethnic groups, or between individuals belonging to different racial or ethnic groups; esp. sexual relationships and reproduction between white and non-white people; marriage or cohabitation by members of different ethnic groups. Also: an instance of this, and in extended use. Cf. amalgamation n. 3.The term is used esp. by people who believe in concepts of racial superiority or racial purity and therefore object to interracial relationships; with quot. 1863 cf. discussion in etymology.
