Etymology

Etymology 1

From Angloromani mintš, from Romani minʒ (“female genitals”), probably from Old Armenian մէջ (mēǰ, “middle, midst; inside, interior; the middle part of the body; loins, reins; waist; belly, abdomen; back”). Doublet of medius. Alternative etymology: from the Latin mingere (“to urinate”), synecdochically used to describe the organ through an associated function (possibly ironically or euphemistically).

Etymology 2

Probably corrupted from midge.

Etymology 3

From Middle English mingen, mengen, from Old English mengan (“to mix; mingle”). More at ming.
