farrago
Jumbled chaotic medley
A farrago is a confused mixture or jumble of things: The testimony was a farrago of lies and half-truths.
The word typically carries a negative connotation, suggesting not just variety but disorder—elements that don't belong together.
It appears most often in formal or literary contexts.
