Root Explanation

Remitment → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "mittere" (meaning to send). The word refers to the act of sending something back or again, often in the context of payment or a transfer of funds.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sending again' — 're-' means again, and 'mittere' means to send. This helps you remember that remitment involves sending something back.
