The Root of Ignorance

Armenian անտեղյակություն [antɛʁjɑkutʰˈjun], Basque ezjakintasuna, Chinese 无知 [wúzhī], Czech neznalost, Irish aineolas, Lithuanian nežinojimas, Norwegian uvitenhet, Welsh anwybodaeth, Greek άγνoια [ágnoia], Hindi अज्ञान [agyān], Hungarian tudatlanság and Finnish tietämättömyys 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!
