Etymology
The word 'emitter' originates from the Latin verb 'emittere', which means 'to send out' or 'to let go'. This Latin term is composed of 'e-' (a variant of 'ex-') meaning 'out' or 'away from', and 'mittere', meaning 'to send'. The usage of the term has evolved since its introduction into English language around the late 19th century, particularly in scientific contexts. Today, 'emitter' is commonly used in various technical fields, such as physics to describe sources of radiation or in electronics concerning components that emit signals or power. Over time, the term has been adapted and broadened to encompass a wide range of devices and contexts where an object releases some form of energy or particles.
