neglectfulness

/nɪˈɡɫɛktfəɫnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being neglectful.

Word Origin Neglectfulness comes from neglect, which is from Latin neglegere — nec- 'not' + legere 'to gather, pick out.' So to neglect is literally 'not to pick up' or 'not to gather.' The -ful and -ness suffixes turn it into a noun meaning the state of being full of neglect. The same legere gives us collect (gather together), select (pick out), and lecture (a reading).
