📖What it means
A rule deliberately not applied to something, recorded with its reason. An exemption on the record is governance; the same thing unrecorded is a hole.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Violation
An exemption is a permitted departure; a violation is an unpermitted one.
Not: Override
An exemption suspends a rule for one case; an override is the admin setting a rule aside.
