Etymology

The word 'unacknowledging' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the verb 'acknowledge' which comes from the Old English word 'oncnawan' meaning 'to understand'. The concept of not acknowledging something has been around for centuries, as humans have always had the ability to ignore or disregard information that they do not wish to accept. The word 'unacknowledging' reflects this tendency in human behavior to intentionally fail to recognize something.
