The act of dismissing or resigning from a position; formal permission to leave or depart.
From Latin dimissio (from dimittere 'to send away'). In ecclesiastical contexts, it specifically means the formal release from office or the permission to move to another jurisdiction.
Dimission is a beautifully formal word—while we might casually 'quit' or 'resign,' dimission suggests an official, ceremonial departure with proper paperwork and acknowledgment.
