emittit

Emittit is the third-person singular present indicative active form of the Latin verb emittere, meaning “he/she/it sends forth” or “lets out.” It denotes releasing or discharging something outward from a source and is used with a wide range of objects, such as light, sound, liquids, or messages.

Grammar and principal parts: emittere belongs to the third conjugation. Principal parts are emitto, emittere, emisi, emissus. In the present system, emittit is the standard third-singular form; emittis is second singular; emittimus is first plural; emittitis is second plural; emittunt is third plural. The passive is emittitur and emittuntur. The participle is emissus; the supine is emissum. These forms illustrate the regular pattern of the third conjugation with the present stem emitt-.

Usage examples: Sol lucem emit. (The sun emits light.) Epistulas emit ad socios. (He sends out letters to his colleagues.) Voxes emit, in poetic or figurative contexts, can describe uttering or producing sounds. In prose, emittit often appears with phrases meaning to issue or publish something, such as a message, a signal, or a declaration.

Etymology and cognates: from ex- “out” plus mittere “to send.” Related English forms include emit and emission; Romance languages have émettre/emitir/emettere/emitir, reflecting the same Latin origin. Emittit thus sits within a family of verbs and nouns centered on outward release or production.
