dedicated action
Etymology
'commit' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'committere,' where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'mittere' meant 'to send.'
'committere' transformed into the Old French word 'comettre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'commit' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to bring together or unite,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to pledge or bind to a certain course or policy.'
