[Verb] | "ne*glect" | \ ni-ˈglekt \

1: to give little attention or respect to : disregard

2: to leave undone or unattended to especially through carelessness

Origin: 1529 ;

Borrowed from Latin neglēctus, past participle of neglegere, neclegere "to disregard, do nothing about, fail to care for," from nec "not" (probably from ne- "not" + -ce, deictic element, going back to Indo-European *ḱe, *ḱi) + legere "to gather, select, read" {mat|no:1|}, {mat|he:1|}, {mat|legend|};

* Note : The Latin formative nec in this word and (with invariable voicing) in negō, negāre "to deny" (see: {negate|negate}) and negōtium "business, difficulty" (see: {negotiate|negotiate}) is presumably identical with Old Latin nec "not" and distinct from nec as a reduced form of neque "and not." See also note at {-algia|-algia}.;
