Written into the record — a change made history; and, of a person, given wholly.
Latin committere (to join, entrust, commit), from com- (together) + mittere (to send); of a record, sent forward into permanence, and of a person, given wholly rather than provisionally.
A change written into the record so it becomes part of a shared history rather than a private draft. Of a person, the same word means given wholly rather than provisionally.
