transmissa

Transmissa is a term that appears in Latin, typically as the feminine perfect passive participle of transmittō, meaning “having been sent across” or “transmitted.” In Latin, it can function as an adjective agreeing with feminine nouns or as part of participial phrases that describe something dispatched, sent, or handed down.

In classical and medieval Latin texts, transmissa often occurs in contexts describing messages, signals, or items that have been conveyed to another place or authority. It can appear in religious, legal, or literary contexts where the act of transmission—of instructions, decrees, or communications—is being noted.

Outside Latin itself, transmissa is uncommon as a standalone modern word. It may appear in scholarly discussions of Latin grammar or philology, and less frequently as part of proper names derived from Latin roots, including toponyms or surnames in Romance-language regions. When encountered as a name, it is typically inherited from historical or linguistic sources rather than used as an ordinary lexical item.
