- 1摻合物；摻入的成分
An admixture is a substance you put into another substance so that they mix. It is not the whole mixture; it is the extra that is added in. Builders talk about an admixture in concrete — a chemical that makes the mix set faster, or work in cold weather. Scientists use it for a component mixed into a larger mass. The word is a bit formal and technical: in a kitchen you would just say you added something. Though actually, writers also stretch it for a small amount of something mixed into a person’s character or a group (“an admixture of kindness and toughness”). That is the same idea, only less literal.
組成From Latin admixtūra, from admixtus, past participle of admisceō (“to mix in”), from misceō (“to mix”). Splits as ad- (“to, toward”) + mixture.
