/səbˈmɪt/
(submit)
present or yield
Etymology
'submit' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'submittere', where 'sub-' meant 'under' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'.
'submit' changed from Medieval Latin 'submittere', passed into Old French as 'soumettre' and Middle English as 'submitten', and eventually became the modern English word 'submit'.
Initially, it meant 'to send under' or 'to place below', but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'to present, to yield, or to subject to'.
