Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin verb ignorare, meaning 'not to know' or 'to be ignorant of', formed from in- ('not') and a root related to gnoscere ('to know'). Entering Middle French as ignorer in the 15th century, the term later shifted in English during the 17th century from its original sense of 'unawareness' to the deliberate refusal to pay attention or acknowledge someone or something.
