You have to go to Latin to be able to find the etymological origin of the verb remit that concerns us now. And it emanates from the Latin word remittere , which is made up of two clearly differentiated parts: the prefix re- , which can be translated as "backwards", and the verb mittere , which is synonymous with "send".
Send is a verb that is usually used in reference to the action of sending or dispatching a certain thing to an individual who is at a certain physical distance.
For example: «Would you please send this envelope to the Sales Manager? These are the reports that he requested from me" , "After submitting the order, stop by my office so we can analyze the results of the last campaign" , "It seems to me that the supplier made a mistake when sending the boxes" .
Send how to send
The notion of sending, therefore, can be associated with a sending that is made to a subject who is in another place . This distance can vary greatly: it is possible to send a note to a person who is located in the same building, but on another floor, and also send a package to someone who is located thousands of kilometers away, in a different country.
Currently shipments can be very varied. Thus, in addition to the above, you can send a letter and, at the same time, you can also do the same with an email. This has the advantage over the previous one that it is much faster, since it is immediate, and that it allows you to reach any corner of the world in a few seconds.
