How Do You Spell PERMITTED?

Pronunciation: [pəmˈɪtɪd] (IPA)

The word "permitted" is spelled with two "m"s and two "t"s, despite the fact that the pronunciation only contains one "m" and one "t".

Over time, the spelling of the English word has remained the same while the pronunciation has evolved, creating a discrepancy between the spelling and the sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for "permitted" is /pəˈmɪtɪd/.

Etymology of PERMITTED

The word "permitted" is derived from the Old French word "permis" or "permitir", which means "to permit" or "to allow". This in turn comes from the Latin word "permittere", formed by combining the prefix "per-" (meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb "mittere" (meaning "to let go" or "to send"). The word eventually made its way into the English language in the late 15th century.
