EMIT Meaning and Definition

  1. Emit is a verb that refers to the act of giving off, producing, or releasing something, usually in the form of energy, gas, sound, light, or any other tangible substance. It is derived from the Latin word "emittere," which means "send forth" or "let go."

    When something emits, it means that it is actively discharging or giving out a particular element or phenomenon. For example, a fire emits heat and light, a car emits exhaust fumes, and a radio emits sound waves. In these cases, the object or source is actively sending forth or releasing a substance or form of energy into the surrounding environment.

    The term is commonly used in scientific and technical contexts to describe the process of a source generating and transmitting specific phenomena or elements. For instance, in electronics, electrical devices emit signals or radiation, such as electromagnetic waves or radio waves. Similarly, atoms emit light when their electrons transition from higher to lower energy levels.

    Emit can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of expressing or displaying certain emotions, qualities, or characteristics. For instance, someone may emit confidence, happiness, or kindness through their demeanor or actions.

    In summary, emit is a verb that signifies the active process of giving off or releasing energy, gas, sound, light, or other tangible substances or phenomena from a particular source or object.

  2. To send forth; to throw or give out; to let fly.
