Non attendances refers to the act or instance of not attending or being absent from a particular event, gathering, meeting, or obligation that had been previously scheduled or expected.

Non attendances can occur in various contexts, such as work, school, social functions, appointments, or any other setting where one is expected to be physically present. This term categorizes individuals who intentionally or unintentionally fail to show up or participate when they were required or anticipated to be in attendance.
The reasons for non attendances can be diverse and range from personal emergencies, illnesses, conflicting commitments, lack of interest or motivation, forgetfulness, or even deliberate acts of avoidance. Non attendances can have consequences depending on the nature of the event or commitment missed, such as loss of a job or educational opportunity, penalties, missed networking or socializing opportunities, or disappointment for organizers or individuals expecting one's presence.
Organizations, institutions, or individuals responsible for planning or hosting events or managing schedules often take non attendances into consideration in order to mitigate their impacts. They may implement policies, communication systems, or backup plans to handle instances of non attendance effectively. Additionally, individuals may be required to inform or provide notice in advance if they are unable to attend, depending on the nature of the commitment.
The term "non attendances" does not have a specific etymology as it is composed of two separate words: "non" and "attendances".
The word "non" is a Latin prefix meaning "not" or "without". It is commonly used in English to indicate negation or absence.
The word "attendances" is derived from the verb "attend", which originated from the Old French word "atendre" meaning "to wait for" or "to give attention to". "Attendances" in this context refers to the act of being present or the state of being present at a particular event, meeting, or obligation.
