AWOL (absence without official leave/without permission) Explanation: Acronym, originally used in the United States military, of absent without leave. (military and generic) Absent without leave (permission). (generic) Somebody who is absent without permission. (military) Absence without proper authority from the properly appointed place of duty, or from unit, organization, or other place of duty at which one is required to be at the time prescribed. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/AWOL cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Definition of AWOL : absent without leave; broadly : absent often without notice or permission the place looked as if its caretaker had been AWOL for some time — Daniel Ford https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/AWOL -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-09-06 15:12:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- cccccccccccccccccccccc cccccccccccccc @Assef Molhem: Everybody deserves a break from time to time, but your point is well taken. I do not know what nuance you want to convey. For example, "dereliction" is an intentional abandonment. "Truancy," although mostly associated with student absence, means neglect of duty or responsibility. "AWOL" has gone over to the common language from the army; AWOL for a long time is tantamount to "desertion." |
