Inattention
(gcide) | Inattention \In`at*ten"tion\, n. [Pref. in- not + attention: cf.
F. inattention.]
Lack of attention, or failure to pay attention; disregard;
heedlessness; neglect.
[1913 Webster]
Novel lays attract our ravished ears;
But old, the mind inattention hears. --Pope.
Syn: Inadvertence; heedlessness; negligence; carelessness;
disregard; remissness; thoughtlessness; neglect.
Usage: Inattention, Inadvertence. We miss seeing a thing
through inadvertence when do not happen to look at it;
through inattention when we give no heed to it, though
directly before us. The latter is therefore the worse.
Inadvertence may be an involuntary accident;
inattention is culpable neglect. A versatile mind is
often inadvertent; a careless or stupid one is
inattentive.
