From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  COMMIXTION, civil law. This term is used to signify the act by which goods 
  are mixed together. 
       2. The matters which are mixed are dry or liquid. In the commixtion of 
  the former, the matter retains its substance and individuality; in the 
  latter, the substances no longer remain distinct. The commixtion of liquids 
  is called confusion, (q.v.) and that of solids, a mixture. Lec. Elem. du
