miscegenation
English
Etymology
Coined by American journalist David Goodman Croly in 1864 from Latin misc?re (“mix”) +? genus (“race”) +? -ation.
The term was first used in an anonymous pamphlet which claimed to be written by a person who believed in the inherent unity of all racial groups, that marriage between the blacks and whites would create a better race, and that the American Civil War was a fight for the latter idea. Later, it was exposed that the pretext of the pamphlet was false and that it had actually been written by a group which hoped to inflame anger. They particularly hoped to create anger against then-US President Abraham Lincoln who was up for reelection and had recently abolished most forms of slavery in the United States.
Replaced previous amalgamation, from metallurgy. See further discussion.

Usage notes
Often considered offensive, pejorative, or old-fashioned, and therefore alternative terms are more common in contemporary use, such as interracial, interethnic or cross-cultural for relationships, and mixed-race, multiracial, or mixed for persons.
In scholarly use, miscegenation is particularly used for historical discussions, and in current use it has been repurposed by academics to analyze the emotions, reactions, and anxieties held by people about interracial couplings. For further information also see English Wikipedia's page on miscegenation's section on its usage.
