The word "commissioned" is derived from the verb "commission", which originated from the Latin word "committere". "Committere" is composed of two parts: "com-" meaning "together" or "with", and "mittere" meaning "to send". Therefore, "commission" originally meant to send someone or put them in charge of a task or duty. Over time, the verb "commission" developed into the adjective "commissioned", which refers to being officially appointed or authorized to perform a particular role or task. The prefix "am" in "am commissioned" is the first-person singular present tense of the verb "to be", indicating that the speaker currently holds the status of being commissioned.
