unobserving

/ʌnəbzˈɜvɪŋ/ adj

Failing to observe something; unobservant.

Word Origin Observe comes from Latin ob- 'over, toward' + servare 'to watch, keep' — so observe is to watch over. Unobserving means not watching, not noticing. The root servare gives us conserve (keep together), preserve (keep before), reserve (keep back), and observant (watchful). The breakdown un+observ+ing: not in the act of watching.
