Oblivion
oblivion
- late 14c., from L. oblivionem (nom. oblivio) "forgetfulness," from oblivisci "forget," originally "even out, smooth over," from ob "over" + root of levis "smooth." Oblivious is c.1450, from L. obliviosus "forgetful," from oblivio. It has lost its original sense, however, and now means simply "unaware."
