Emite

Emite is a term that appears primarily as a verb form in several Romance languages, notably Spanish and Portuguese. In both languages, emite is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb emitir, meaning to emit, release, or issue. It is used to describe a device, signal, or substance that is producing something, for example: “La máquina emite humo” (Spanish) or “O dispositivo emite ruídos” (Portuguese).

Linguistic details and usage patterns. In Spanish, the present indicative forms of emitir include emito, emites, emite, emitimos, emitís, emiten. In Portuguese, the corresponding forms are emito, emites, emite, emitimos, emitis, emitem. The form emite specifically marks a single subject in the present tense. Beyond its literal sense of producing something, emite is commonly found in contexts such as emissions from machines, signals, statements issued by organizations, or outputs of systems.

Origins and relation to other terms. Emite derives from Latin emittere, meaning to send out or discharge. It shares a common root with related terms in both languages that describe sending, issuing, or producing.

Other uses. As a standalone word in English, emite has limited use outside discussions of Spanish or Portuguese grammar. It is occasionally encountered as a proper noun in fictional or branded contexts, but such uses are not widely documented and are not standard semantic entries.
