means The quality of acting without paying attention to warnings, consequences, or the safety of others.
from Built from 'heed' — an old Germanic word meaning to notice or pay attention, related to German 'hüten' (to guard or watch over) — plus the negating suffix '-less' and the noun-forming '-ness.' So heedlessness is literally the state of being devoid of watchfulness, a word that's been quietly scolding the careless since Old English.
