Does "something has been omitted" mean something has been deleted or missed?

Clive · Answer

. . . something has been omitted . . .

The basic idea is this.
If something has been omitted, it has not been included.
eg I omitted Tom's name from the list.

An omission may be deliberate or accidental.
eg Maybe I forgot about Tom. Or maybe I don't like Tom.

Something can only be omitted if there is some reason to expect that it might be included.
