mittimus (MIT-uh-muhs) noun

An official order to commit someone to prison.

[From Latin, literally "we send" from mittere (to send).]

Here are some cousins of today's word mittimus: admit, commit, emit, dismiss, missile, mission, missive, promise. Who would have thought these disparate words might have anything in common! They all involve the idea of sending and they share the common parentage: Latin mittere.-Anu

The clerk who wrote this mittimus screwed up. ... The mittimus

turned out to be a get-out-of-jail-free card. Instead of being locked up, Callahan was sent for treatment at the Alternative Correction Center in Braintree, then sent home with an electronic bracelet." Beverly Beckham, Justice Delayed And Denied, The Boston Herald, Dec 4, 1998.

adamant AD-uh-muhnt, adjective:

Not capable of being swayed by pleas, appeals, or reason; not susceptible to persuasion; unyielding.

In the cabin, the skipper and Truong Hong were arguing furiously, one convinced the boat had run aground, the other adamant that it was snared in nets.--Tran Vu, [1]The Dragon Hunt

I pretended that nothing had happened, so adamant in my denial that my memory gradually underwent a revision. --Chu T'ien-wen, [2]Notes of a Desolate Man

It's amazing the ignorance--and the adamant ignorance--of so many people, people one would think might at least admit to simply not having knowledge of something. --Ira Berkow, [3]To the Hoop: The Seasons of a Basketball Life

Adamant derives from Greek adamas, adamant-, "unconquerable; the hardest metal; diamond."
