Etymology
The word 'omit' comes from the Latin word 'omittere', which is a combination of 'ob-' meaning 'away' and 'mittere' meaning 'to send'. The original Latin term conveyed the idea of sending something away or disregarding it. As it transitioned into English in the late 14th century, it retained the core meaning of exclusion or neglecting to include something. The usage of the term has evolved, but the essence of deliberately leaving out remains a central theme. The suffix '-ing' indicates the ongoing action of omitting, further emphasizing the process of exclusion.
