Origin
The word "neglect" comes from the Latin word "neclegere," which means "not to collect" or "not to choose." It is formed from the prefix "nec-" ("not") and the verb "legere" ("to gather" or "to choose"). In Latin, "neclegere" was used to refer to the act of leaving something unattended or not taking care of it. Over time, the meaning of the word "neglect" broadened to include the sense of failing to give something proper attention or care.
