Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'dimittere', meaning to send away or dispatch, formed from 'dis-' (apart, away) and 'mittere' (to send). Entering Middle English in the 15th century via Old French, the term originally denoted the formal disbanding of an assembly before shifting toward the rejection of ideas or employment termination.
