Missing In Action
Missing In Action (abbreviated MIA), is a term (dating from 1946) referring to a member of the armed services who is reported missing following a combat mission and whose status as to injury, capture, or death is unknown. The missing combatant must not have been otherwise accounted for as either killed in action (KIA) or a prisoner of war (POW).
Colloquial Usage
MIA is sometimes used to describe difficulty finding something. "The TV remote has gone MIA."
