Morphology
dismissal = dismiss (semi-transparent) = dis + miss + al
For this sense, '-al' forms a straightforward noun of action or result from the verb 'dismiss'.
Etymology
Dismissal comes from the Latin parts dis- meaning 'away' and mittere meaning 'to send', and it is related to the English word mission which also comes from 'send'. That's why a dismissal at work means being 'sent away' from your job, or fired.
