inconsiderateness

/ɪŋkənsˈɪdɚɹətnəs/ noun

The condition of being inconsiderate

Word Origin The word 'consider' originally meant to observe the stars (Latin sidus) for omens — so 'inconsiderate' literally means not looking at the stars, not taking the time to observe carefully. That's why it means thoughtless or lacking regard. The breakdown in+consider+ate+ness shows the negative prefix, the root from star-gazing, and the suffixes that turn it into a noun. Related words: consider, consideration, reconsider.
