To send outward in a chosen form — render, encode, export, publish. The gateway's verb: how a creation leaves the studio.
Latin emittere, ex- (out) plus mittere (to send); a verb for sending a messenger or a missile outward that widened over time to cover anything released outward in a chosen form, from light to a finished file.
The sending-out of a thing in a chosen form, whether rendered, encoded, exported, or published. Emitting is how a made thing finally leaves the place it was made.
