Definition of transmission

The word "transmission" has its roots in the Latin "transmitters," which means "one who sends across." This Latin phrase is a combination of "trans," meaning "across" or "beyond," and "mittere," meaning "to send." The Latin "transmitters" was later adopted into Middle English as "transmitter," and over time, the term evolved to include the sense of sending or communicating something, such as a message, idea, or energy. In the context of mechanical systems, the word "transmission" likely originated from the concept of transmitting power or energy from one source to another. In the late 18th century, the word began to be used in the context of mechanical systems, particularly in the design of gearboxes and other machinery that facilitates the transmission of power. Today, the term "transmission" is widely used in various fields, including automotive, medical, and telecommunications, to refer to the process of sending or transmitting something from one place to another.
