Etymology

The term 'commissioning' originates from the late Middle Ages, deriving from the Latin word 'commissio', which means 'a sending together.' It comprised the prefix 'com-' meaning 'with' or 'together' and 'mittere', which means 'to send.' Initially, the concept related to appointing representatives or delegating authority in various contexts. Over time, it came to encompass broader meanings, especially in military and artistic contexts, where it pertains to assigning duties or requesting the creation of specific works. The term has been solidified in modern usage across various industries, such as engineering, performing arts, and even business, where commissioning denotes formal initiation or assignment of tasks or projects.
