Origin

Late Middle English: from Latin submittere, from sub- 'under' + mittere 'send, put'. sense 3 'present for judgement' dates from the mid 16th century.

  • permit from Late Middle English:

    This word was originally used in the sense ‘commit, hand over’: it is from Latin permittere, from per- ‘through’ and mittere ‘send, let go’. ‘Written order giving permission’ is recorded from the early 18th century. Permission and permissive are also late Middle English. Permissive society dates from the 1970s. Latin mittere is the base of a number of other Latin words found in English such as admit with ad ‘to’; submit from sub ‘under’; transmit from trans ‘across’. All are Late Middle English.
