Usage Note

Trascuratezza is a feminine noun describing a habitual state of inattention or untidiness — in appearance (trascuratezza nell'abbigliamento), work, or relationships. It is stronger than simple distrazione (distraction) and implies a pattern rather than a single lapse. The adjective trascurato is more commonly heard in speech.

Examples

"La sua trascuratezza nel lavoro era evidente."

Natural Translation

His carelessness at work was evident.
