Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb 'omittere', composed of 'ob-' (away, aside) and 'mittere' (to let go, send). It entered the English language in the late 15th century, shifting from the literal sense of letting go or laying aside to the modern meaning of leaving something out or failing to do something.
