Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin commissio, meaning 'a committing or entrusting', stemming from the verb committere (com- 'together' + mittere 'to send'). It entered Middle English via Old French in the 14th century, initially denoting the act of entrusting a task, and later expanded to mean an official group assigned a duty or the percentage paid to an agent for completing a transaction.
