send button

Message dispatch control

A send button is the clickable element that transmits a message, form, or file to its destination.

Found in email clients, messaging apps, and web forms, it typically appears as a button labeled "Send" or an arrow icon.

Pressing send commits your words—hence the moment of hesitation before clicking: I hovered over the send button, rereading the email one more time.
