omiserunt

Omiserunt is the Latin perfect active indicative form of the verb omittere, meaning “they sent away,” “they omitted,” or “they neglected,” depending on context. The verb omittere belongs to the third conjugation, and omiserunt specifically marks a completed action in the past for a plural subject.

Usage and meaning

Omittere covers several related senses: to omit from a list or record; to neglect to perform an action; to dismiss or send away. Therefore omiserunt can translate as “they omitted” or “they sent away,” with the exact sense determined by the surrounding words and the noun or clause involved. In classical Latin, context and object govern whether the emphasis is on exclusion, neglect, or dismissal.

Example

Nomina omiserunt. They omitted the names.

Geographic and literary usage

Omiserunt appears across Latin texts, from narratives to legal and administrative prose, wherever a completed past action of omitting or sending away is described. It is one form among several that derive from omittere, each conveying a related but distinct sense.
