Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root m-z-j, which carries the core sense of mixing or blending liquids. The pattern fa'il turns the root into a noun describing the result of that action, so mazij literally denotes the thing produced by mixing. The same root gives Arabic its everyday verb for mixing drinks or substances.
