Unmind
Part of speech: verb
Definitions
- To deliberately choose to disregard or forget a matter or thought
- To intentionally pay no attention to or let go of a concern or idea
- To consciously dismiss or set aside something from one's mind
Etymology: "Unmind" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-" attached to the verb "mind," which here carries its older sense of paying heed to something or caring about it. Adding "un-" reverses that, so the verb means to stop minding, to set a concern aside on purpose. Because it is built from two familiar English parts rather than borrowed from another language, its meaning is transparent: you are simply undoing the act of minding.
Synonyms: ignore, neglect, overlook, disregard, dismiss
