Etymology
Romanian borrowed "permis" from French "permis," the past participle of "permettre" (to permit), used as a noun for an official document. French inherited it from Latin "permissus," past participle of "permittere": "per-" (through) plus "mittere" (to send, to let go). The core sense is something sent through or let pass, which narrowed to a formal grant of permission.
