How Do You Spell IGNORE?

Pronunciation: [ɪɡnˈɔː] (IPA)

The word "ignore" is spelled with five letters, but the way we say it is more complex than its length might suggest. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is written as /ɪɡˈnɔːr/. This breaks down to the vowel sound /ɪ/ followed by the consonant blend /ɡn/, and then the vowel sound /ɔːr/. The second syllable is unstressed, so the "e" at the end is silent. While the spelling of "ignore" may seem straightforward, its pronunciation requires careful attention to the sounds that make up the word.

IGNORE Meaning and Definition

1. Ignore means to intentionally pay no attention to someone or something. It refers to the act of deliberately disregarding or overlooking someone or something, usually as a result of a conscious decision or lack of interest. When a person ignores someone or something, they choose not to acknowledge, address, or respond to them.

   Ignoring can come in various forms, such as ignoring someone's presence, opinions, requests, or actions. It involves turning a blind eye or a deaf ear to the subject being ignored.

   This act is primarily driven by a desire to avoid engaging with or dealing with the person or situation at hand. It could be motivated by a range of factors, including disinterest, disagreement, dislike, or an attempt to assert superiority or power. Ignoring someone can be an intentional act to convey indifference or to exert control over a situation.

   Ignoring can have consequences, creating feelings of exclusion, rejection, or hurt in the person being ignored. It can strain relationships, hinder effective communication, and lead to misunderstandings or conflicts.

   In summary, to ignore is to consciously choose not to acknowledge, address, or respond to someone or something, often due to disinterest or an attempt to exert control.

2. To set aside or reject; to pass over or overlook purposely.

Etymology of IGNORE

The word "ignore" is derived from the Latin word "ignorare", which means "not to know" or "to be unaware". The prefix "in-" in Latin indicates negation, while "gnorare" comes from the term "gnarus" meaning "knowing" or "knowledgeable". Over time, the word "ignorare" evolved into "ignorer" in Old French and then into "ignore" in Middle English, retaining its basic meaning of disregarding or paying no attention to something or someone.
