(inconsiderate)
lacking consideration
Etymology
'inconsiderate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'inconsideratus,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'consideratus' meant 'considered.'
'inconsideratus' transformed into the Old French word 'inconsideré,' and eventually became the modern English word 'inconsiderate' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'not considered,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lacking consideration for others.'
