What is the purpose of adding a title attribute? what if we do not add?

The title attribute permits us to populate a tooltip such that when the user hovers over the element, it exposes the text.

<span lang="fr"
      title="a policy or attitude of letting things take their
      own course, without interfering.">laissez faire</span>
