Syn :
Neglect ;
inattention ;
heedlessness ;
disregard ;
slight .
Usage : {
Negligence }, {
Neglect }.
These two words are freely interchanged in our older writers ;
but a distinction has gradually sprung up between them .
As now generally used ,
negligence is the habit ,
and neglect the act ,
of leaving things undone or unattended to .
We are negligent as a general trait of character ;
we are guilty of neglect in particular cases ,
or in reference to individuals who had a right to our attentions .
