Root Explanation
Premixed → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "mix" (from Latin "miscere", meaning to mix) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action). The word "premixed" means something that has been mixed beforehand.
Memory Tip
Think of mixing something 'before' ('pre-') it is used — that's why premixed refers to something already mixed.
