leave out

Fail to include

To leave out is to omit or exclude—to not include something that might otherwise belong: The recipe leaves out salt entirely, I felt left out of the conversation.

Someone who leaves out details may be simplifying, forgetting, or deliberately concealing: She left out the part about losing her job.
