omisisti

Omisisti is a Latin verb form, the second-person singular perfect active indicative of the verb omittere, meaning to omit, to send away, or to neglect. As a grammatical form, it indicates that the action was completed in the past and that the subject is “you.”

Morphology and formation: Omisisti is built from the perfect stem associated with omittere and the personal ending -isti, which marks the second person singular. In classical spelling the vowels may be long, yielding a form such as ōmīsistī. The form is typical of Latin perfect tenses where -istī identifies the second person singular.

Usage and translation: In Latin, omisisti translates to “you omitted” or more literally “you left out.” The nuance depends on context: it can refer to omitting a detail, a step, or an action. As with other perfect forms, it denotes a completed past action and often appears in narrative or argumentative prose.

Relation to related terms: The verb omittere belongs to the broader family associated with sending away or letting go, and its noun form omissio conveys the concept of omission. Other verb forms of omittere express different persons, numbers, and tenses, all sharing the same semantic core of neglecting or omitting something.

Historial and linguistic notes: Omisisti is encountered in classical and late Latin texts as part of ordinary narrative or dialogue. It serves primarily as a grammatical form rather than as an independent lexical item, illustrating Latin’s rich system of person-specific perfect endings.
