Word origin

Built inside Esperanto from sub ('under') and meti ('to put'). Latin happens to have made the identical word, submittere, out of the identical parts, so the borrowing and the building arrive at the same place.

Esperanto formation
Root
sub + meti
English cognates
submit, submissive

Examples
