Etymology 1

edit

In use by the 6th century. Presumably from the phrase īte missa est (go, the dismissal is made) (said by a priest to dismiss the congregation after the service), where missa is Late Latin and Vulgar Latin, for missiō (dismissal), from mittō (to discharge, release) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *meytH- (to change; to exchange; to remove)) + -tiō (suffix attached to verbs forming nouns relating to actions or their results).

An older derivation (16th century, attributed to Luther) adduced Hebrew מַצָּה (matsá, unleavened bread; oblation) (compare English matzo), but this is no longer considered a tenable etymology.[1]
