remit
Significado: The scope of authority, responsibility, or area of activity assigned to an organisation, committee, or individual; also, to send money in payment.
In British English, remit (stressed on the first syllable as a noun) is extremely common in institutional and governmental contexts: 'within our remit,' 'outside the remit of this inquiry.' As a verb (stressed on the second syllable), it means to send payment or to refer a matter for consideration. Common collocations include 'within the remit,' 'broaden the remit,' and 'remit payment.' The noun sense is distinctively British and often unfamiliar to American speakers.
