/ɪn æbˈsɛntiə/ – Phrase
Definition: vắng mặt.
A more thorough explanation: “In absentia” is a Latin term that means “in the absence.” In legal terms, it refers to a legal proceeding or judgment that takes place in the absence of one of the parties involved, typically because they are not present or have not been properly notified of the proceedings.
Example: The defendant was convicted in absentia after failing to appear in court for the scheduled hearing.
