Admissio

Admissio is a Latin noun meaning admission, entrance, or acceptance. It is formed from admittere (to send toward) with the prefix ad- indicating motion toward, and mittere meaning to send. In Latin, admissio denotes the act or state of admitting someone or something into a status, place, privilege, or recognition, or of granting permission to proceed in a process.

In historical legal and ecclesiastical literature, admissio appears as a formal term for permission or recognition—such as admission to a court, to a guild, to a religious community, or to a particular rite. In scholastic and philosophical discourse, the term can occur in discussions about admissibility or the admissibility of a claim within a given framework, again reflecting the broader sense of permission to enter or to be acknowledged.

In modern scholarship and English translations, admissio is encountered to discuss Latin concepts of admission or entry, especially in legal, canon, or historical texts. The English cognates derived from admissio are admission and admissibility, while the corresponding adjective is admissible. The Latin term is now primarily of interest for historical, translational, or philological contexts rather than as a standard term in contemporary everyday usage.
