Forms: 1600s meslange, 1600s– melange, 1700s– mélange, 1800s– mèlange.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French meslange, mélange.

Etymology: < French †meslange (1538 in Middle French; 1380 in Middle French in form meslinge ), mélange mixture (1680; 1828 in sense 3) < Middle French mesler to mix (see meddle v.) + -ange , suffix derived from the Germanic base of -ing suffix¹. Compare Old French meslance (12th cent.; see -ance suffix).In sense 2 after German Melange (1830 in this sense, chiefly in Austrian use); this sense does not appear to be attested in French. N.E.D. (1906) notes s.v.: ‘Often written without accent, but (at least in sense 1) perhaps always regarded as a foreign word’.

1. gen. A mixture, combination, or blend; a collection of heterogeneous items or elements; a hotchpotch, a medley.
