Definition of ‘nescience’: lack of knowledge or awareness : ignorance
REFLECTIONS ON A NEW WORD
(For what it’s worth: A conceit I composed in far off days . . . )
A WORD TO THE WISE
(AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL CONCEIT)
Nesciencelessness …
Is a fascinating word,
But, its meaninglessness
Makes it absurd
Nesciencelessness …
Should mean being wise,
But astutenesslessness
I would advise.
‘Nesciencelessness’ …
Can be tried on a friend,
But recklesslessness
Will win in the end.
Nesciencelessness …
Is hard to pronounce,
But its endlessnessness
Makes it worth every ounce.

🙂 Reminds me of one of my Dad’s jokes: “Unnecessary, spell it”

Trust you Roland to find such an obscure word. At least I don’t have to look it up as you kindly give us translation.
It is hard to pronounce and nobody would understand me. So what one could say, sounds clever.😊 .
I have practised and think I got it…..
