carelessness; negligence; oversight
Refers to a lack of thoroughness or attention that leads to mistakes or omissions. Often used in formal or written contexts to describe errors in work, planning, or judgment.
Because there were oversights in the report, I was asked to resubmit it.
彼の計画は疎漏が多く、実現は難しい。
His plan has many careless points, so it is difficult to realize.
手落ち also means oversight or negligence, but it often implies a procedural mistake or a failure to do something that should have been done. 疎漏 is broader and can refer to general carelessness.
Standard kanji form; 疎 suggests 'neglect' or 'sparse', 漏 suggests 'leak' or 'omission'.
Variant kanji form; 粗 suggests 'coarse' or 'rough', but the meaning is the same.
Compound of 疎 (so, 'neglect, sparse') and 漏 (rō, 'leak, omission'). The kanji combination directly conveys the idea of something being missed or left out due to insufficient care.
