Etymology: "Remissioned" is the past tense of "remission", a verb that in its modern sense means to send something back again, especially documents or correspondence. The sense that matters here is the oldest one: the Latin "remissio" meant a release or a sending back, and "remittere" (to send back) is the root from which the verb's notion of return comes. The noun's journey is more striking than the verb's. Its earliest English senses were largely religious and legal: release from a duty, pardon, forgiveness of sins, and the lifting of penances. Medieval French and Anglo-Norman carried those meanings across, and the same root later produced the everyday medical sense of a disease easing its grip. A word about forgiveness thus ended up describing a symptom going quiet. The verb form adds "re-" to "mission", yielding a word built from two layers: "re-" meaning back or again, and "mission" in its older sense of sending. "Remission" itself sits on the same Latin base as "remit", so the modern verb carries its original meaning of dispatching something back to where it came from.
