Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish meter, from Latin mittō (“to send”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *meyth₂- (“to exchange, remove”). Cognate with English mess (sense 2) and also mission, message. Compare also French mettre, Friulian meti, Portuguese meter, and Italian mettere. The semantic shift from "send" to "put" probably occurred in Vulgar Latin.
