Etymology

From oblivious + -ness.

Noun

obliviousness (countable and uncountable, plural obliviousnesses)

  1. The characteristic of being oblivious.
    • 2021 July 29, Mike Hale, “Review: ‘The Pursuit of Love’ Against All Odds”, in The New York Times:
      Things that were implicit and largely unjudged in the book, filtered through layers of stiff-upper-lip irony — Fanny’s self-pity, Linda’s obliviousness — are now foregrounded and, for the most part, rendered banal, with “Beaches”-level platitudes and sentimentality.
