to leave out
Usage Note
Omettere is conjugated like mettere (irregular past participle omesso). It means to leave something out, whether deliberately or carelessly: omettere un dettaglio ('to omit a detail'). In legal language omettere di fare something means 'to fail to do' it, which can carry criminal liability (omissione di soccorso, 'failure to render assistance'). It takes avere as auxiliary.
