noun, na-adjective
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.
報告書に疎漏があったため、再提出を求められた。
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。

不注意 is a more common, everyday word for carelessness or inattention. 疎漏 is more formal and emphasizes gaps or omissions due to negligence.
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.
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.
