mixable

/mˈɪksəbəl/ adj

Capable of being mixed.

Word Origin Mixable is built from Latin 'miscere' 'to mix' and the suffix '-able' from 'habere' 'to have, hold' — so it's 'able to be mixed.' The same root 'miscere' gives us 'miscible' (a more scientific synonym) and 'promiscuous,' which originally meant 'mixed indiscriminately' (pro- 'forward' + miscere). The PIE root *meik- also appears in 'mingle' and 'among.'
