absentia
English. But it is only used in set phrases. I have added them as descendants in absentia. DCDuring TALK 02:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I certainly see the argument that isn't English, only  is; but since  is also a regular English word, it's not so simple as that. And we're descriptivist, which means that no matter how ugly we may find  and, we have to admit that  doesn't only exist in . —Ruakh TALK 02:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ruakh. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 06:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow. Is that ever ugly usage! It never occurred to me to look for "in his/her/their absentia". Keep. DCDuring TALK 16:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and explain better. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
