transmission

In a medical context, "transmission" usually refers to how a disease spreads from one person to another. It is often used as an uncountable noun here. When talking about cars, it refers to the physical part of the machine (the gearbox). In this case, it is a countable noun (e.g., "a manual transmission"). In media and technology, it describes the process of sending signals. This usage is common in both formal technical reports and everyday conversations about TV or radio.
