OriginMiddle English: via Old French from Latin commissio(n-), from committere 'entrust' (see commit). Commission came into English via Old French from Latin committere ‘entrust’. Late Middle English commit is from the same root. Commissionaire (mid 17th century) came via French from medieval Latin commissarius ‘person in charge’, from committere. Committee, however, was formed in the late 15th century directly from commit and originally meant someone entrusting with something.
