+ '''praetermittō''' (present infinitive praetermittere, perfect active praetermīsī, supine praetermissum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed [[af|la|praeter-|mittō|t1=past|t2=to let go, send]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) De Vaan traces ⟨mittō⟩ to [[itc-pro|*meite/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*m(e)ith₂-|t=to exchange, remove]], from which the senses “give” and then “let go, send” developed.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's examples begin with Cicero:^(OLD 2012) in the ''Pro Murena'' he asks his hearers to set aside Cato's authority.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to let pass, as Cicero who let no day go by, and in Statius to carry past.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) It is to overlook or disregard, to leave out of a statement, as a word or words omitted, to fail to take an opportunity, as men who passed over honours for fear of danger, and to leave undone, as a parricide who seems to have left no crime undone.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “let pass, omit, neglect, overlook”.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|pretermit]] (1510s) comes from it.^(Etymonline)
