farrago

[fuh-rah-goh]

noun:

a confused mixture, hodgepodge, medley

Explanation

Farrago refers to a chaotic mixture of components — sometimes lively, sometimes baffling. It can describe anything from a jumbled argument to a meal of mismatched leftovers. When the pieces don't quite fit together, you might be looking at a farrago, for better or worse.

Example: The report was a farrago of unrelated facts and figures, making it impossible to understand the main point.
