ignorante

/iɡnoˈɾante/ · B2 · adj

ignorant

Cognate: ignorante = English ignorant + -e; Latin in- (not) + gnarus (knowing)

It shares a root with English ignore and with gnosis (knowledge), so ignorante means someone who does not know. Stress falls on -RAN-: ig-no-RAN-te. As in English, it can be a neutral unaware or an insult, depending on tone.
