- 1遺漏、疏漏
An omission is something that was left out or not done, on purpose or by mistake. It could be a missing sentence in a report, a forgotten step in instructions, or a fact someone chose not to mention. In law and ethics, people also talk about 'sins of omission' — bad things that happen because you failed to act, not because you did something wrong.
From the word’s history
From Middle English omissioun, from Old French omission, from Late Latin omissio, from Latin omitto.
源自中古英文 omissioun，經古法文來自拉丁文 omittō。
組成o- (from Latin 'ob-') + miss (Latin 'mittere', to send/let go) + -ion
