MIZZLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Mizzle, a noun and verb, refers to a type of light rain or drizzle that has a fine misty or drizzly quality. As a noun, it signifies a light precipitation characterized by droplets that are smaller and more dispersed than in regular rain, leading to an almost mist-like appearance. Mizzle often occurs with a low amount of moisture in the air, resulting in dampness without heavy rainfall. It can be observed as a thin layer of moisture that envelops an area, making everything slightly damp.

    As a verb, mizzle describes the act of lightly raining or drizzling with fine droplets, typically used when describing the weather. To mizzle is to produce this type of light rain or drizzle, creating an atmosphere of dampness and mist. The term may also be used figuratively to describe a hazy or foggy atmosphere.

    The origins of the word "mizzle" can be traced back to the mid-17th century, derived from the Middle Low German word "miseln" meaning "to drizzle." It has found its way into various dialects and regional English, particularly in Britain, where it remains in use today.

    In summary, mizzle refers to a light, misty rain or drizzle characterized by small, dispersed droplets. It can be experienced as a light layer of moisture that dampens the surroundings. The term can be used both as a noun, describing the type of rain, and as a verb, describing the act of lightly drizzling.
