It is just the end of the word. The meaning is given by the root "misc", the rest is suffix. "the English word miscellaneous derived from the Late Latin word miscellaneus derived from the Latin word miscellus (hybrid, of mixed type, breed) derived from the Classical Latin word miscere (mix, mingle; embroil) derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *meik-" Source and further information: http://www.myetymology.com/english/miscellaneous.html
