Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Tedesco reconstructs *मिल्(ह्) (mil(h)) as the original form of the root, and derives it from *मिश्लति (miślati, “to mix up”), relating it ultimately to मिश्र (miśra, “mixed”). Not related to Ancient Greek ἅμιλλα (hámilla, “competition, conflict”).

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /mil/
• (Classical) IPA^(key): /mil̪/

Root

मिल् • (mil)

1. to meet (as friends or foes); to encounter; to join; to fall in with; to come together; to assemble; to concur; to combine
