NEGLIGENCE

n. 1. Neglect; omission to do; more generally,
2. Habitual omission of that which ought to be done, or a habit of omitting to do things, either from carelessness or design. Negligence is usually the child of sloth or laziness, and the parent of disorders in business, often of poverty.

 

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

NEGLIGENCE

Neg "li *gence, n. Etym: [F. négligence, L. negligentia.]

 

Defn: The quality or state of being negligent; lack of due diligence or care; omission of duty; habitual neglect; heedlessness.

 

2. An act or instance of negligence or carelessness. remarking his beauties,... I must also point out his negligences and defects. Blair.

 

3. (Law )

 

Defn: The omission of the care usual under the circumstances, being convertible with the Roman culpa. A specialist is bound to higher skill and diligence in his specialty than one who is not a specialist, and liability for negligence varies acordingly.Contributory negligence. See under Contributory.

 

Syn. -- Neglect; inattention; heedlessness; disregard; slight. -- Negligence, Neglect. These two words are freely interchanged in our older writers; but a distinction has gradually sprung up between them. As now generally used, negligence is the habit, and neglect the act, of leaving things undone or unattended to. We are negligent as a general trait of character; we are guilty of neglect in particular cases, or in reference to individuals who had a right to our attentions.
