omitido

Omitido is a Spanish adjective and the past participle of the verb omitir. It describes something that has been left out, excluded, or not included, whether deliberately or accidentally. The term is commonly used to refer to information, details, or items that are omitted from a text, list, report, or discussion. In gendered forms, omitido is masculine singular, omitida is feminine singular, and the plurals are omitidos and omitidas, respectively.

Etymology and forms: omitido derives from omitir, which comes from the Latin verb mittere with the prefix o-, originally conveying neglect or removal. The meaning has broadened in modern Spanish to cover anything that has not been included or mentioned.

Usage: omitido appears frequently in journalism, law, academia, and everyday language to indicate missing content or intentional exclusion. Examples include statements like “Se omitieron varios párrafos en la versión final” (Several paragraphs were omitted in the final version) or “El nombre está omitido por motivos de privacidad.” In data contexts, one may encounter phrases like “datos omitidos” or “información omitida,” referring to withheld or missing information.
