omitida

Omitida is the feminine singular past participle of the verb omitir in Spanish and Portuguese, meaning “omitted” or “left out.” It functions as an adjective describing something that has not been included or stated. The masculine equivalent is omitido, and the plural forms are omitidos (masc.) and omitidas (fem.). The term derives from Latin omittere, to send away or neglect, and shares the same basic sense in both languages.

Used in contexts such as information, sections of a text, or data that are not disclosed: for example, “informação omitida” in Portuguese or “información omitida” in Spanish. In legal and journalistic language, omitida can indicate redaction or exclusion, though the noun omisión (Spanish) or omissão (Portuguese) may be preferred for precision.

In grammar, omitida typically accompanies a feminine noun, agreeing in gender and number, as in “parte omitida” or “información omitida.” The masculine and plural forms—omitido, omitidos—allow concord with the noun they describe. The word is widely understood in both Iberian languages and appears in formal writing, journalism, and official documents to signal that certain content has been intentionally or inadvertently left out.
