“Elide”* has eluded me in the written or spoken word. Is it common? Here is one way to know.

Actually, that link uses "elide, omit."

If you just look at "elide," the results are quite different.

I know only a fraction of the words of most native speakers, yet "elide" sounds quite familiar to me. For some reason it shows up in scientific papers quite frequently.
