How to say "omission" in Japanese

• おちCommon
  nounCovers omission as an accidental slip: something unintentionally missed or left out, the oversight itself rather than a deliberate cut. The mistake, not the missing piece, is the focus.
• 省略しょうりゃくJLPT N2approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe act of leaving something out or shortening by cutting; the word you will usually want when 'omission' means something deliberately left out, whether in writing or speech.
  この句くでは前置詞ぜんちしを省略しょうりゃくできる。↗

  You can omit the preposition in this phrase.
• 中略ちゅうりゃくCommon
  noun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbA narrow term: the omission of the middle part of a text, as when a passage is skipped between what precedes and what follows. Not a general word for omission.
• 不始末ふしまつCommon
  noun, na-adjectiveReally means careless handling or mismanagement — failure to deal with something properly; its 'omission' is only that sense of failing to do what one should. Seldom the word you want for omission itself.
• 欠落けつらくCommon
  noun, suru verb, intransitive verbThe state of something being missing or absent — a lack or gap where something should be. Choose it when 'omission' points to what is absent rather than to the act of leaving it out.
  男女だんじょ関係かんけいにおける嫉妬しっとはしばしば信頼しんらいの欠落けつらくによってもたらされる。↗

  Jealousy in a relationship is often brought about by a lack of trust.

Use 省略 for the act of leaving something out, 欠落 for something missing or absent, 「おち」 for an accidental slip, 中略 only for omitting the middle of a text, and 不始末 hardly at all.
