Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb 'transmittere', formed by 'trans-' (across, beyond) and 'mittere' (to send, let go). It entered the English language in the late 14th century, initially retaining its literal Latin sense of sending or conveying something from one person or place to another, later expanding to include signals, energy, and diseases.
