The act of accepting something as true or agreeing to rules, or documents you turn in for someone to review.
From Latin 'submittere'—'sub' (under) plus 'mittere' (to send). Originally meant 'to send under' or 'to place under authority.'
The root 'mittere' shows up everywhere—admit, commit, emit, transmit—all literally about 'sending,' so 'submission' is what you 'send under' someone else's judgment, which is why we use it for essays, applications, and legal surrender.
