Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'negligibilis', from 'negligere' meaning 'to neglect' (from 'nec-' meaning 'not' + 'legere' meaning 'to pick up' or 'gather'). It entered Middle French and subsequently the English language in the late 16th century, originally denoting something unworthy of attention or casually disregarded before shifting to denote numerical or practical insignificance.
