Etymology: "Omitters" is simply the plural of "omitter," which is formed from the verb "omit" and the English agent suffix "-er," the ending that turns a verb into a word for the one doing the action, as in "teacher" or "driver." "Omit" itself comes from Latin "omittere," meaning "to let go, to leave out," built from "ob-" (here meaning "away" or "over") and "mittere," "to send," so the verb originally carried the sense of sending something away or letting it drop. An omitter, then, is someone or something that lets a detail go missing, whether through carelessness or on purpose. The formation is transparent enough that the word needs little explanation beyond its parts, and its meaning follows directly from the verb it grows out of.
