Etymology

The word "transmitted" originates from Latin transmittere (trans- + mittere), literally "to send across." It entered Middle English via Old French transmettre. The core idea of "sending something across space or time" has persisted, evolving to include abstract concepts like data or signals in modern usage. The -ed suffix marks it as a past action, aligning with English verb conjugation rules.
