Etymology
Promit is the first person singular present form of the verb a promite, inherited from Latin promittere. The Latin verb combines pro- (forward) with mittere (to send), so the original sense was to send forth a pledge. Romanian kept the verb through direct descent from spoken Latin, alongside related verbs like a admite and a transmite.
