cometer

/komeˈteɾ/ · A2 · verb

to commit

cometer = commit: same Latin root, committere (com- together + mittere send)

Spanish cometer and English commit both come from Latin committere. It pairs with the same nouns as in English: cometer un error (make a mistake), cometer un crimen (commit a crime). Swap the -mit for -meter, as in permit/permitir's cousin prometer.
