Etymology

The word 'admitting' is derived from the Latin word 'admittere', which means 'to send to' or 'to allow in'. The roots of the word can be traced back to 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'mittere' meaning 'to send'. Over time, 'admittere' evolved into the Old French 'admettre' before entering the English language as 'admit' in the late Middle Ages. The use of 'admit' in English has expanded over the centuries, encompassing not only physical entry but also the acceptance of truths and realities. Its contemporary usage embraces both formal admissions in legal and educational contexts, as well as informal acknowledgments in everyday conversations.
