Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Likely from mītō via the so-called littera-rule, from Proto-Italic *meitō, from Proto-Indo-European *meyth₂- (“exchange, remove”), an extension of the root *mey- (“change”). From the original meaning “to exchange” a semantic shift occurred to “to give, bestow” and then “to let go, send”. Cognate to South Picene meitims, meitimúm (“monument”, nom. and acc. sg. respectively). External cognates include Sanskrit मेथेते (methete, “to become hostile, quarrel”), and Gothic 𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (inmaidjan, “to change”).[1][2]
Based on the attested hapax cōsmittō for committō, some[3] reconstruct the root with an initial s-, but De Vaan regards the hapax as not trustworthy enough.
