Similar words

混まざる
混ざる means things blend or mix together, often without the strong sense of disorder. 入り乱れる emphasizes a chaotic, jumbled state.
乱みだれる
乱れる means to become disordered or disturbed, but does not inherently imply multiple things mixing together. 入り乱れる adds the nuance of many elements entering and becoming tangled.

Etymology

Compound of 入り (iri, 'entering', continuative form of 入る) + 乱れる (midareru, 'to become disordered'). The combination yields the meaning of things entering and becoming jumbled together.
