Etymology: "Omittances" is the plural of "omittance," a noun formed from the verb "omit" and the suffix "-ance," which turns a verb into a noun for an act or state. The verb comes from Latin "omittere," meaning "to let go" or "to leave out," built from "ob-" (away) and "mittere" (send), so the root idea is of letting something go out of one's hands or accounts.
