The word "inattentivenesses" is a derivative of the term "inattentiveness". The etymology of "inattentiveness" can be traced back to the Latin word "in-" meaning "not", and the Latin verb "attendere" which means "to give heed to" or "to pay attention". When combined, "in-" and "attendere" form the Latin word "inattendere", meaning "not paying attention".
The English word "inattentiveness" formed from the Latin root word, and the suffix "-ness" was added to signify a state or quality, thus indicating the state of not paying attention. Similarly, "inattentivenesses" is formed by adding the plural suffix "-es" to "inattentiveness", producing a plural form of the word.
