Definition

A person or thing that allows or accepts something to enter or be included.

Conversation

I heard you were the one who decided to be the admitter for the group project.

Yeah, it seemed like the best way to keep things organized.

That makes sense; it’s a tough job to be the one who admits people into the group.

True, but it’s also nice to have control over the team dynamics.

Root Explanation

Admitter is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "mittere" (meaning to send). The word describes someone who sends or allows something to enter or be accepted.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'sending' ('mittere') something 'to' ('ad-') allow it to enter — that's why an admitter is someone who allows entry.
