Etymology

The term 'commissioned' derives from the Latin word 'commissio', meaning 'a committing' or 'to entrust'. This evolved into the Old French 'comission', which referred to the act of assigning or allocating responsibilities. As the concept of structured roles and responsibilities grew, particularly within various organizations and the military, the word became increasingly specific in its application. In English, the term started being used in the late 14th century, and its usage expanded to encompass not only military positions but also creative and professional assignments. Thus, 'commissioned' has come to denote both the act of formally assigning a responsibility and the status of individuals who have been given such authority.
