Morphology
submit = sub + mit
Although the word historically contains the prefix 'sub-' and the bound root 'mit', an average learner cannot derive the modern sense 'formally present or hand over for consideration' from those parts.
Etymology
Submit comes from Latin parts sub- 'under' and mittere 'to send'. It has the same root as mission, which is about sending, so when you submit a form you are 'sending' it to someone for approval.
