Syn: Forgetfulnes, Oblivion.
Usage: Forgetfulness is Anglo-Saxon, and oblivion is Latin.
The former commonly has reference to persons, and
marks a state of mind; the latter commonly has
reference to things, and indicates a condition into
which they are sunk. We blame a man for his
forgetfulness; we speak of some old custom as buried
in oblivion. But this discrimination is not strictly
adhered to.
