Etymology: "Mingleable" is simply "mingle" with the suffix "-able" attached, meaning able to be mingled or to mix. The base "mingle" is itself a fairly old English verb, descending from a Middle English root that meant to mix or blend things together, and it carries that sense of combining substances as well as the later social sense of people circulating among one another. The suffix "-able" comes from Latin "-abilis" by way of Old French, and it was attached to English verbs freely from the Middle English period onward to mean capable of being or capable of undergoing the action. Adding it to "mingle" gives a word whose sense is quite literal: something that can be blended or mixed with other things without losing its identity.
