unknowingness

Where it comes from

From unknowing + -ness.

noun

  1. uncountable The quality of not knowing; ignorance of something. Or it may be true, which I have heard, that after the period of our very earliest recollections, then a space intervenes of entire unknowingness, followed again by the first dim glimpses of the succeeding memory, more or less distinctly embracing all our past up to that one early gap in it.
