I can't believe how disregardful he was during the meeting.

Yeah, it felt like he didn't care at all about our ideas.

Root Explanation

Disregardful → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart or away) and "regard" (from Old French *regarder*, meaning to look at or consider) and "-ful" (meaning full of). The word "disregardful" means full of not considering or looking at something.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'away from' ('dis-') 'consideration' ('regard') — that's why disregardful means not considering something.
