leaves out
Fails to include
To leave out is to omit or exclude—to not include something that might otherwise belong.
You leave out an ingredient when cooking, leave out details when telling a story, or leave out a friend when making plans.
Someone left out feels excluded or overlooked: I felt left out when they didn't invite me.
