mixer
to mix, to blend
verb meek-SEH Rare
Origin: Borrowed from English 'to mix'.
Also means
to DJ (mix music)
Usage Note
Mixer is used in cooking (to blend in a food processor — mixeur is the blender) and in music production (a DJ or sound engineer mixe tracks). The agent noun le mixeur is a kitchen blender, while le DJ or le mixeur handles music mixing. Do not confuse mixer with mélanger, which is a more general 'to mix' without the appliance or music connotation.
