adj.
late 14c., from Old French ignorant (14c.), from Latin ignorantia, from ignorantem (nominative ignorans), present participle of ignorare “not to know, to be unacquainted; mistake, misunderstand; take no notice of, pay no attention to,” from assimilated form of in- “not, opposite of” (see in- (1)) + Old Latin gnarus “aware, acquainted with” (cf. Classical Latin noscere “to know,” notus “known”), from Proto-Latin suffixed form *gno-ro-, related to gnoscere “to know” (see know).
Form influenced by Latin ignotus “unknown.” Cf. also uncouth. Colloquial sense of “ill-mannered” first attested 1886. As a noun meaning “ignorant person” from mid-15c.
