Admission can mean being allowed to enter a place, organization, or event. It can also mean a statement in which someone accepts that something is true, especially something they did wrong.
From Latin 'admissio', meaning 'a letting in', from 'admittere' (to let in), from 'ad-' (to) + 'mittere' (to send). The idea of 'letting in' later expanded from places to truths.
