1. mired

   "Mired" refers to being stuck or entangled in a difficult situation, problem, or place from which it is hard to extricate oneself. It is usually used metaphorically to denote being hindered or slowed down by something. The term originates from the literal meaning of being stuck or sunk in mire (a swampy ground, bog or marsh).

1. Mired

   Contracted from the term micro reciprocal degree, the mired is a unit of measurement used to express color temperature. It is given by the formula: where M is the mired value desired, and T is the color temperature in kelvin. For convenience, decamireds are sometimes used, with each decamired equaling ten mireds. The SI unit is the reciprocal megakelvin, shortened to mirek, but this term has not gained traction. The use of the term mired dates back to Irwin G. Priest's observation in 1932 that the just noticeable difference between two illuminants is based on the difference of the reciprocals of their temperatures, rather than the difference in the temperatures themselves.
