From Middle French mélange, meslange, from Old French meslance, meslinges (“set of diverse elements”), apparently a borrowing from Frankish *misklinga (“mix, mixture”), from Frankish *misklōn (“to mix”). Compare Old High German miscilunga, miskilunga, miskelunga (“mixture, assortment, combination, blend”).

Alternatively, derived from Old French mescler (“to mingle, mix up”) (modern French mêler), from Vulgar Latin *misculō + -inges, a suffix from *-ing (“-ing”). Compare also Old High German miscilōn, miskilōn, miskelōn (“to mix”).
