The word "omit" comes from the Latin word "omittere," which means "to let go" or "to neglect." In Latin, "omittere" was a combination of "omis," meaning "nothing," and "mittere," meaning "to send" or "to let go." In English, the word "omit" originally meant "to fail to include or Mention something," but it gradually expanded to include other meanings such as "to omit an action" or "to leave out a procedure." The word "omit" first appeared in English in the 15th century and was initially used in a mainly formal or literary sense. Over time, its usage became more widespread and its meaning became more nuanced. Today, "omit" is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts, from editing and writing to cooking and even everyday conversation.
