Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin permissio, stemming from permittere (per- 'through, thoroughly' + mittere 'to send, let go'). Entering Middle English via Old French in the late 14th century, the word originally denoted the act of allowing or conceding a point before shifting to mean formal authorization.
