If it's the word I found, it was pretty obscure to me.  But it has some
not-at-all-obscure negative variants.

I just thought of a not-too-obscure word whose second meaning (according
to Merriam-Webster) goes:

  a mixture of diverse elements

and which also evokes visions of a related word which means

  to mix into a confused or disordered mass

in its verb form and

  a mass of things mingled together without order or plan

in its noun form.
