the.com/admission
The price of honesty, usually paid after everyone already knew anyway.
means The act of letting someone in—whether that's a person through a door, a fact into the open, or a truth out of your own mouth.
from From Latin admittere, 'to send to' or 'let in' — ad- (toward) plus mittere (to send, the same root behind 'mission' and 'missile'). So an admission is literally something sent toward acceptance: a fact or a person finally allowed through the gate.
