admitir

/admiˈtiɾ/ · A2 · verb

to accept, to admit, to agree to, to concede

🚪 ad + mitir = Latin ad (to) + mittere (send): to send in, let in

Near-twin of English admit, from Latin admittere. Same family as permitir (permit), emitir (emit), omitir (omit) — all built on mittere, to send. Swap English -mit for Spanish -mitir and the meaning carries over: let in, accept, concede.
