The word remit originates from Latin remittere ("to send back, relax, or forgive"), combining re- (back) and mittere (to send). Over time, it evolved to encompass financial transactions (sending money back) and leniency (relaxing a penalty). The dual meanings reflect the core idea of "sending back" either physically or metaphorically.
