Today's Word "nescience"
escience \NESH-uhn(t)s; NESH-ee-uhn(t)s\ (noun) - Lack of knowledge or awareness; ignorance.
"The president's seeming nescience on the subject of global warming was a tremendous cause for concern to everyone at the conference."
Nescience is from Latin nescire, "not to know," from ne-, "not" + scire, "to know." It is related to science. Nescient is the adjective form. _________________ Roland Camilleri
