pretermit
Leave out intentionally
Pretermit is a formal or legal term meaning to omit, neglect, or pass over.
A court might pretermit a question it needn't answer.
A will that pretermits an heir fails to mention them, which may have legal consequences: The pretermitted child was entitled to a share of the estate.
The word is rare outside legal contexts.
