freeborn, noble, frank; pref. in- in + the root of gignere to
beget. See Genius, and cf. Ingenious.]

blood of birth.
[1913 Webster]
2. Noble; generous; magnanimous; honorable; upright;
high-minded; as, an ingenuous ardor or zeal.

Note: (Formerly) printers did not discriminate between . . .
ingenuous and ingenious, and these words were used or
rather printed interchangeably almost to the beginning
of the eighteenth century. --G. P. Marsh.
Syn: Open; frank; unreserved; artless; plain; sincere;
candid; fair; noble; generous.
Usage: Ingenuous, Open, Frank. One who is open speaks
out at once what is uppermost in his mind; one who is
frank does it from a natural boldness, or dislike of
self-restraint; one who is ingenuous is actuated by a
native simplicity and artlessness, which make him
willing to confess faults, and make known his
sentiments without reserve. See Candid.
