Definition

Something that can be left out or not included.

Example

The instructions contained several omissible details that did not affect the overall outcome.

Conversation

I found a few sections in the book that seem omissible during our discussion.

Really? I thought everything was important to cover.

Not necessarily, some parts just repeat what’s already been said.

That makes sense — we should focus on the main points instead.

Root Explanation

Omissible → It is formed from "omittere" (meaning to let go or leave out) and the suffix "-ible" (meaning capable of). The word "omissible" means capable of being left out or omitted.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'let go' ('omittere') — that's why omissible means it can be left out.
