immingle comes from in- ('in') + mingle, the latter from Middle English menglen, a frequentative of Old English mengan ('to mix'). Morphologically, the prefixed shape matters: the initial element belongs to the recorded formation and helps explain the modern form's surface analysis. In present English, the verb sense is "to mingle or blend together intimately", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as mingle, intermingle, and commingle, and in derivatives such as immingled and immingling. Its semantic neighborhood includes intermingle, blend, mix, and commingle, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Old English mengan and Proto-Germanic *mangijaną.
