mitto

Noun

 * 1) measure

Etymology
Likely from via the so-called littera-rule, from, from , an extension of the root. From the original meaning “to exchange” a semantic shift occurred to “to give, bestow” and then “to let go, send”. Cognate to 🇨🇬,. External cognates include 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.

Based on the attested hapax legomenon for, some reconstruct the root with an initial s-, but De Vaan regards the hapax as not trustworthy enough.
