How Do You Spell PERMITTED?

Pronunciation: [pəmˈɪtɪd] (IPA)

The word "permitted" is spelled with two "m"s and two "t"s, despite the fact that the pronunciation only contains one "m" and one "t". This is because the word comes from the Latin verb "permittere," which was spelled with two of each letter. Over time, the spelling of the English word has remained the same while the pronunciation has evolved, creating a discrepancy between the spelling and the sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for "permitted" is /pəˈmɪtɪd/.

PERMITTED Meaning and Definition

1. Permitted is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "permit." To permit means to allow or give consent to someone or something to do a particular action or engage in a certain behavior. It suggests authorization or granting permission for someone to carry out a specific task or activity. Permission is typically provided when there are rules, regulations, or restrictions in place that need to be followed.

   When an action or behavior is permitted, it means that it is legally, morally, or socially acceptable and allowed to take place within certain boundaries.

It could refer to giving consent for an individual to enter a specific area or granting authorization for an organization or entity to conduct a particular operation or activity.

   In various settings, such as schools, workplaces, or public spaces, there are usually certain rules and guidelines that determine what is permitted and what is not.

Being permitted to do something implies that one has been given the green light or official approval to proceed with a specified action or behavior. It implies that any potential obstacles or barriers have been lifted, and there are no restrictions preventing the approved action from taking place.

Etymology of PERMITTED

The word "permitted" is derived from the Old French word "permis" or "permitir", which means "to permit" or "to allow". This in turn comes from the Latin word "permittere", formed by combining the prefix "per-" (meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb "mittere" (meaning "to let go" or "to send"). The word eventually made its way into the English language in the late 15th century.
