Emissi

/ɛˈmɪsi/ noun

Definition

Plural form of emissus (a thing sent out or discharged); rarely used historical or technical term.

Etymology

From Latin emissus, the past participle of emittere (to send out), used as a noun to mean 'something sent forth.' The plural retains Latin form.

Kelly Says

This is a ghost word—so rare and archaic that it barely registers in English history, likely used only by medieval Latin scholars and technical writers who needed a Latin plural for specialized discourse.
