OMIT Meaning and Definition

  1. Omit is a verb that refers to the act of leaving out, excluding, or neglecting to mention or include something. It involves intentionally disregarding or failing to include a particular detail, item, or piece of information within a given context. When a person omits something, they consciously choose not to incorporate or address it, resulting in its absence or exclusion from the overall composition, statement, or action.

    In written or verbal communication, to omit signifies overlooking or skipping over certain elements that would normally be expected to be present. This could be intentional, for various reasons such as brevity, lack of relevance, or the desire to simplify or highlight other aspects. Omitting may occur in various contexts, including formal written documents, reports, academic papers, or conversational exchanges.

    Moreover, omitting can also involve the act of leaving out something accidentally or unintentionally. This could happen due to oversight, forgetfulness, or a simple error in judgment. In such cases, the omission might undermine the completeness and accuracy of the information being conveyed or the task being performed.

    The concept of omitting is closely related to exclusion or disregarding, signifying the deliberate act of not including something within a specific context or situation.

  2. To leave out; to neglect or pass by; to fail to insert or mention.

Etymology of OMIT

The word "omit" entered the English language in the early 15th century from the Latin word "omittere". The Latin term is a combination of the prefix "ob-" meaning "away, against", and the verb "mittere" meaning "to let go, send". In this sense, "omit" originally meant "to let go, to disregard, to leave out". Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to its current definition of intentionally leaving something out or excluding it from consideration.
