nonappearances
Not showing up
Nonappearances are failures to appear or show up when expected.
The word typically applies to court proceedings, scheduled performances, or other formal obligations: The judge issued a warrant after three nonappearances.
It emphasizes absence as a pattern or problem rather than a single missed occasion.
