5. [Perh. corrupt. fr. OE. mesh for mash: cf. muss.] A
disagreeable mixture or confusion of things; hence, a
situation resulting from blundering or from
misunderstanding; as, he made a mess of it. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster]
Also a modern colloquial usage of it means to do something unauthorised, an
adult might say to a child "don't mess with my car".
