mixture
word
Definition
A combination of two or more different things, often substances, that are mixed together but keep their separate qualities.
Usage & Nuances
'Mixture' is commonly used for physical substances (like food, chemicals, or liquids), but can also refer metaphorically to a combination of ideas or qualities. It's more neutral than 'blend' (which often suggests a smoother result). Note: 'mixture' is countable ('a mixture') and usually describes things you can physically separate.
