From the late Latin word *inviare*, meaning 'to go toward' or 'to put on the road,' which itself came from *via* (road/way). The meaning evolved in Spanish to specifically mean 'to put something on its way' or 'to send'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'envíe' have an accent mark?
The accent mark is necessary because the base verb 'enviar' has a strong vowel sound (i) next to a weak vowel (a). To keep the strong 'i' sound in these conjugated forms, Spanish grammar requires the accent over the 'í' or 'íe' to show that the stress falls there, separating the vowels.
Is 'envíe' the same as 'envía'?
No. 'Envía' (with an accent on the 'i') is the simple present tense (he/she/you formal sends). 'Envíe' (with an accent on the 'i' and ending in 'e') is the special form used for formal commands or when expressing wishes, desires, or necessity (the subjunctive mood).
