Do you think this evidence is admissible in court?

Root Explanation

Admissible → It is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "mittere" (meaning to send). The word "admissible" means something that can be sent to or allowed in, particularly in a legal or formal context.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'sent to' ('ad-') a place or situation — that's why admissible means it is allowed or accepted.
