Despite all the e's, none are pronounced in may-lay.
Odd, huh?
Here's why:
French mêlée, from Old French meslee, past participle of mesler, to mix ; see meddle.

"mee-lee" is INCORRECT.
the correct pronunciation is "may-lay."
the word is french (mêlée), and comes from the word for "mix," as in a mixed-up mess, like a battlefield.
