Etymology
The phrase "to miss an appointment" combines the verb "miss," originally from Old English 'missan,' meaning to fail or be without, with "appointment," derived from Old French 'apointement,' meaning an arranged meeting. Together, they convey the idea of failing to be present at a set time.
