The word "neglects" is a verb and is derived from the noun "neglect". The noun "neglect" originated from the Latin word "neglectus", which is the past participle of "negligere". "Negligere" combines the prefix "neg-" (meaning "not" or "away from") with "legere" (meaning "to choose" or "to pick"). Therefore, "neglect" originally meant "to not choose" or "to not pick", implying disregard or omission. Over time, the word "neglect" evolved into a verb, "neglects", which means the act of ignoring or failing to care for someone or something properly.
