Morphology

remitter = remit (semi-transparent) = remit + er

Clearly built from 'remit' + '-er', but the sense 'to refer a case' is a legal/administrative use that may be unfamiliar to general learners.

Etymology

Remitter comes from the parts re- 'back' and mittere 'to send', a root you meet in submit and transmit. It keeps the original idea of 'sending', so a remitter is someone who refers or sends a case on to another court or official.
