A hybrid is a mixture of several things, usually two different kinds of things. This word is most common when talking about plants and animals. Mules are hybrids. The female parent is a horse and the male parent is a donkey. Some cars are called hybrids, too. They have a mixture of two different kinds of motors, electric and gasoline.
