- 1疏忽的、怠忽職守的（該做的事沒做）
If you are remiss, you failed to do something you were supposed to do — not because you attacked the job and did it badly, but because you let it slide. It points at a duty left undone. The word is formal, and a little old-fashioned. Its most common home is a polite set phrase: “I would be remiss if I didn’t thank you.” You will also hear “the school was remiss in not warning parents.” Younger people in casual talk more often say “I forgot” or “I didn’t do my job.” You use remiss of a person, or of their care in a duty, not of a thing (“a remiss report” sounds wrong). It is an adjective, not a verb.
組成From Middle English remisse, from Latin remissus, “slack, negligent,” the past form of remittō, “to send back, to let go, to slacken.”
