6. Nescient (adj.) [ 'nesiənt ]
Definition: exhibiting or characterized by nescience: ignorant, agnostic

Nescient, science, and omniscient all share a root: each comes in part from the Latin word scire, meaning “to know.” Nescience, then, is "lack of knowledge or awareness."
Nescient, science(科学)和 omniscient(无所不知的)的词根都是拉丁语单词scire,意为“知道,了解”。Nescience则是“无知”的意思。
7. Bêtise (n.) [ be'ti:z ]
Definition: an act of foolishness or stupidity
释义:愚蠢的行为
Bêtise came to English from the French word bête, which has the meaning in that language of "idiot," or, more literally, "beast". In addition to an act of stupidity, bêtise may refer to stupidity or ignorance in general.
Bêtise来自于法语单词bête。Bête在法语中表示“白痴”,更字面的解释是“畜生”的意思。除了指愚蠢的行为外,bêtise一般也可以表示“蠢”或“无知”。
