In a word

sub- (under) + mit (send) = 'send yourself or something underneath'. The mit family splits by direction of sending — sub- (under) → submit, trans- (across) → transmit, dis- (away) → dismiss, e- (out) → emit. Send a report under the boss's hand — submission. Send your will under another's authority — yielding. Same act, two registers.
