The Root of Ignorance

Armenian անտեղյակություն [antɛʁjɑkutʰˈjun], Basque ezjakintasuna, Chinese 无知 [wúzhī], Czech neznalost, Finnish tietämättömyys, Greek άγνoια [ágnoia], Hindi अज्ञान [agyān], Hungarian tudatlanság, Irish aineolas, Lithuanian nežinojimas, Norwegian uvitenhet and Welsh anwybodaeth all mean 'ignorance', the highlighted prefixes, infix and suffix unanimously denoting the negation of knowledge, exactly as does the English word itself – from Latin i(n)gnorantia, French-borrowed ignorance is the antithesis of gnosis, cognizance and knowledge, which it equally shares a common root with. Human Language – the Mirror of Universal Wisdom – knows neither abstractions, nor negative concepts, all of which are but shadows of our Collective Unconscious. Russian/ Ukrainian ненависть [nenavist'] 'hatred' – from nenaviděti 'to hate', itself from ne 'not' + naviděti 'to look upon' (ultimately from viděti 'to see', cognate with synonymous Latin video) – speaks volumes on behalf of that Unconscious!
