To send something from one place or person to another, such as signals, messages, or diseases.
From Latin *transmittere* meaning “to send across,” from *trans-* “across” + *mittere* “to send.” It entered English via Middle French in the 15th century, first used for sending messages and later for electricity and disease.
When you talk on a phone or use Wi‑Fi, you’re constantly transmitting invisible waves through the air. The same basic idea applies to germs: a sneeze is like a messy, biological broadcast tower.
