Etymology of DISMISSES

The word "dismisses" is derived from the Old French verb "dismisier", which came from the Latin words "dis-" meaning "apart" or "away" and "missus" meaning "sent". These Latin roots ultimately trace back to the verb "mittere", which means "to send". Over time, the word "dismisier" evolved into the Middle English term "dismissen" before reaching its modern form "dismisses". It retains the essence of its origin, indicating the action of sending away or putting aside.
