Etymology

The word 'transmitted' is derived from the Latin root 'transmittere', which comprises 'trans-' meaning 'across' and 'mittere' meaning 'to send'. This term made its way into Old French before entering the English language in the 15th century. The fundamental idea behind the term involves the process of sending something across a distance, whether it be information, signals, or illnesses. Its usage has evolved over time, expanding from physical forms of transmission to include modern technological contexts, such as digital communications and medical terminology.
