Is the suffix mit from a greek or latin root?

The suffix "-mit" is derived from the Latin root -mittere, which means "to send" or "to let go".

Here's how it works:

* -mittere (Latin root)

* -mit (suffix, shortened form)

Examples of words with the "-mit" suffix:

* Submit (to send oneself under)

* Transmit (to send across)

* Emit (to send out)

* Commit (to send oneself to a task)

While Greek has some words with "-mit" in them, like "transmit" and "permit", these are borrowed from Latin.
