出缺 (kyūjitai)

Etymology

Possibly a parallel compound from 出(しゅつ) (shutsu, ellipsis of 出席 (shusseki, “presence”)) + 欠(けつ) (ketsu, ellipsis of 欠席 (kesseki, “absence”)). Thus, the meaning becomes "attendance or inattendance", or simply "attendance" (be it positive or negative).

Possibly also related to Middle Chinese 出缺 (“falling vacant of a position”), but apparently with a difference in meaning.

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
