What word has been omitted from the dictionary?

This is a bit of a trick question! There is no single word that has been "omitted" from the dictionary. Dictionaries are constantly being updated and revised to reflect changes in language, new words, and evolving definitions.

Here's why the question is tricky:

* Dictionaries are not comprehensive: They aim to include the most common and widely used words, but it's impossible to capture every single word ever created or used.

* New words are constantly being added: Think of slang, technical terms, and words coined online. Dictionaries strive to keep up with this ever-changing landscape.

* Words fall out of use: Language evolves, and words can become obsolete. These might disappear from dictionaries over time.

So, the question is more of a thought experiment about the nature of dictionaries and the ever-changing nature of language. There's no single word that was intentionally left out!
