Omitted

To *omit* something means to intentionally or unintentionally leave it out or exclude it. This can apply to a word, phrase, a piece of information, or even an entire section from a text or a presentation. The reason for omitting something can vary widely, from avoiding repetition or irrelevance, to deliberately withholding information. The consequence of omitting something depends on the context, the audience and importance of the omitted data, it may be critical, and sometimes, relatively insignificant, this will ultimately impact the clarity or completeness of the final product. When something is omitted, it is disregarded, overlooked, or simply not included. It's a removal or exclusion that requires judgment and understanding. The use of 'omitted' highlights an action of removal, whether that action is accidental or purposeful, is a defining characteristic.
