Etymology: "Remixed" is the past tense and past participle of "remix", so the story belongs to the verb itself. The base word is simply "mix" with the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back", so to remix is to mix something a second time, usually into a new arrangement. The "mix" part comes down from Old French, which borrowed the prefix "re-" from Latin, while the Middle English "mix" that the verb grew from is the older stem. Taken together, the word describes a mixture rebuilt from its parts.

Synonyms: altered, modified, rearranged
