negligentia
n. [Latin] Roman law. Carelessness; inattentive omission. Negligentia can be of varying degrees, which may or may not result in actionable liability. See CULPA. Cf. DILIGENTIA. "In the sources negligentia is tantamount to culpa, and similarly graduated (magna, lata negligentia). Precision in terminology is no more to be found here than in the field of culpa. One text declares ... 'gross negligence (magna negligentia) is culpa, magna culpa is dolus'; another says: 'gross negligence (dissoluta negligentia) is near to dolus (prope dolum).' In the saying'lata culpa is exorbitant (extreme) negligence, i.e., not to understand (intelligere) what all understand' . . . negligentia is identified with ignorance."
