Origin

Early 17th century (as an adjective in the sense 'suitable for throwing (at a target')): from Latin missile, neuter (used as a noun) of missilis, from miss- 'sent', from the verb mittere.

The root of missile is a form of Latin mittere ‘to send’, found also in words such as dismiss (Late Middle English) and message. The earliest missiles were gifts, such as sweets, thrown to crowds by Roman emperors. From there the word came to mean, in the 1650s, an object which is forcibly propelled at a target—the modern sense of a rocket or similar weapon is first found in 1945. Mission (mid 16th century) is also from Latin mittere. Mission: Impossible was an American TV series that was first shown between 1966 and 1973, and in 1996 used as the basis of a film of the same name.
