Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin ingratitudo, formed from the prefix in- (meaning 'not' or 'un-') combined with gratitudo (gratitude, from gratus meaning 'pleasing' or 'grateful'). Entered Middle English via Old French in the 15th century, retaining its core moral sense of failing to appreciate kindness.
