Mission

A mission is an important task that people are given to do, especially one that involves traveling to another country.
A mission is a group of people who have been sent to a foreign country to carry out an official task.
Mission comes from a Latin word that means “to send.” It was first used by Jesuit missionaries who sent members of their order overseas to establish schools and churches. Foreign travel is still associated with the word. When diplomats and humanitarian workers travel abroad, we often refer to those trips as missions.
