Etymology
1. 1413, "let in," from L.
admittere, from
ad- "to" +
mittere "let go, send" (see mission). Sense of "to concede as valid or true" is first recorded 1532.
Admittance is from 1589, "the action of admitting."
2. From Middle English admitten, amitten, borrowed from Old French admettre, amettre (“to admit”), from Latin admittō (“to allow entrance, inlet”, literally “to send to”), from ad- + mittere (“to send”). See: Old French '
admettre', Latin '
admittō'.
