Etymology

Admite comes from Latin admittere, built from ad- ('toward') and mittere ('to send, to let go'). The original sense was to let someone approach or come near, which shifted into the modern meanings of allowing entry and accepting something as true. English admit and French admettre descend from the same Latin verb, so they are true cognates rather than false friends.
