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.
