Translations
Etymology
1. 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”.
2. Cognate with South Picene meitims, meitimúm (“monument”, nom. and acc. sg. respectively). External cognates include Sanskrit मेथति (méthati, “to become hostile, quarrel”), and Gothic 𐌹𐌽𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (inmaidjan, “to change”). Sihler explains the perfect form mīsī as a derivative of *mīss-, itself from *mīt-s-.
3. Based on the attested hapax legomenon cōsmittō for committō, some reconstruct the root with an initial s-, but De Vaan regards the hapax as not trustworthy enough. If the root is reconstructed with an initial s-, then the term may connect to Proto-Germanic *smītaną. See: Proto-Italic '
*meitō', Sanskrit '
मेथति', Proto-Germanic '
*smītaną'.
