πέμψαι

pémpō

to send

To cause someone or something to go from one place to another, to send, dispatch, or commission. The verb generally denotes the act by which a sender initiates or authorizes the movement or transmission of a person, message, or object. It can refer both to sending on a specific mission or errand, as well as broader senses of transmitting, delivering, or granting something. While it may sometimes imply a sense of commissioning or assigning, it lacks the nuance of authority or mission that related verbs (such as ἀποστέλλω) often carry.
