Conversation

I’ve noticed that sometimes people can show such unfeelingness in tough situations.

Yeah, it’s surprising how some just don’t seem to care at all.

I think it’s really important to be empathetic instead of showing unfeelingness.

Definitely! A little kindness can make a huge difference.

Root Explanation

Unfeelingness → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "feeling" (from Old English "fēlan", meaning to perceive or sense) and "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word describes the state of not having feelings or emotions.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having the ability to 'perceive' or 'sense' ('feeling') — that's why unfeelingness means the state of lacking feelings.
