The word "transmit" originates from Latin transmittere, combining trans- (across) and mittere (to send). It entered Middle English via Old French transmettre. The core idea of "sending across" has remained consistent, evolving from physical conveyance (e.g., messages) to abstract transmission (e.g., signals, genetic traits).
