🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Derived from Latin committere, a combination of com- (together) and mittere (to send). The original sense evolved from 'to send together' or 'to entrust' to mean 'to pledge oneself' or 'to devote entirely to a cause or person'.
Breakdown
com- (together) + mittere (to send) + -ed (past participle/adjective suffix). The root mittere means 'to send or throw', while com- intensifies the action, creating the sense of entrusting or binding oneself to something.
