[Middle English fixen, from fix, fixed in position, from Latin fīxus, past participle of fīgere, to fasten.]
fixable fix'a·ble adj.REGIONAL NOTE Fixing to ranks with y'all as one of the best known markers of Southern dialects, although it occasionally appears in the informal speech and writing of non-Southerners as well. Fixing to means "to be on the verge of or in preparation for (doing a given thing)," but like the modal auxiliaries, it has only a single invariant form and is not fully inflected like other verbs. Its form is always the present participle followed by the infinitive marker to: They were fixing to leave without me. Semantically, fixing to can refer only to events that immediately follow the speaker's point of reference. One cannot say, "We're fixing to have a baby in a couple of years." The use of fixing to as an immediate or proximate future is very common in African American Vernacular English, and is one of many features that this variety of English shares with Southern dialects.

The meanings of the verb, which is first recorded in the 15th century, and the noun, not recorded until the early 19th century, do not correspond very well.
1. .
- The earliest meaning of the noun is 'a difficulty, predicament, dilemma', which is originally American English but was soon used in British English as well, for example in a letter written by Charlotte Brontë in 1839: It so happens that I can get no conveyance...so I am in a fix. This meaning remains common in British English, although it still has a slight American flavour: Since she had vowed to remain celibate, she was in rather a fix when her father planned to marry her to the King of Sicily—B. Cottle, 1983 / The patient will indeed be in a fix from which he may find it hard to extricate himself—C. Rycroft, 1985.
- From the 1930s in the US, a dose of a narcotic drug came to be called a fix-up and then a fix, and this use (only fix) spread into British English in the 1950s with the increased circulation of hard drugs such as heroin: A weird scene where the dope peddlers gather to beat up Johnny, who gets more into debt with each 'fix'—Oxford Mail, 1958 / He needed her as a drug addict needs his fix—Iris Murdoch, 1985. From this drugs meaning other figurative meanings soon developed: Many people seem addicted to exercise and get depressed if they don't get their daily fix—Guardian, 1984 / What food can't you live without? A weekly fix of my mum's Sunday roast—South Wales Echo, 2007.
- A quick (or cheap) fix is a hasty remedy that deals with a difficulty in the short term; the expression is recorded first in a hyphened adjectival form from the 1950s, a use which remains common: Quick-fix reflectors and diffusers, heavy duty bi-pin lampholders—Architectural Review, 1959 / The most recent 'quick-fix', suggests the committee, is desalting—New Scientist, 1966 / For them conventional war has been lived through and they think nuclear weapons are a cheap fix to deter it–Green Magazine, 1990 / If anyone thinks it will be easy, I would urge them to think again about these quick-fix training gimmicks—Stoke Sentinel, 2007.
2.
- (Also to fix up.) 'To prepare (food or drink).' You must fix me a drink, Fanny Trollope said in her Domestic Manners of the Americans (1839); and Bret Harte, an American writer, wrote in a work of 1891, Mother'll fix you suthin' hot. The use is familiar in British English, but is still regarded as an Americanism: When I am quite exhausted, go and cook a meal, fix a drink—Nina Bawden, 1981 / There would be waiters who'd fix you a drink and there would be a little buffet and people would go swimming in the nude in the pool—Scotsman, 2006.
- (Also to fix up.) 'To mend or repair (something broken or not working).' This meaning is first recorded in American English in the late 18th century, and has spread to other varieties of English: Other men would have fixed that fuse in a few seconds—News of the World, 1990.
- The informal American expression to be fixing to (do something), meaning 'to be about to or preparing to' (do it), first recorded in 1716, is still hardly ever encountered outside the US: If you're after Lily, she come in here while ago and tole me she was fixin' to git married—E. Welty, c.1980 / Mr Bush produced a Pittsburgh couple who, he said, were 'fixing to get married', and explained that they would pay an additional $ 996...under current tax rules 'when they say "I do"'—Times, 2000.
