Sending or passing something (like information, signals, or disease) from one place, person, or thing to another.
From Latin 'transmittere,' combining 'trans' (across) and 'mittere' (to send). The root 'mittere' also gave us 'missile' and 'mission,' all sharing the idea of sending something across space.
Radio stations, WiFi routers, and even your nervous system are all 'transmitting' right now—the word works for light waves, sound waves, and disease, which shows how powerful this simple concept of 'sending across' really is.
