Surface Forms
Morphology
dismiss = miss (opaque) = dis + miss
Although the sense 'send away' matches historical formation, the modern surface parts do not transparently yield this meaning for learners.
Etymology
Dismiss comes from the Latin parts dis- 'away' and mittere 'to send', so it simply means to 'send someone away'. That is why a teacher or a judge can dismiss people from a room or an activity.
