Definition
The quality of being innocent, unsophisticated, or lacking experience, especially when it makes you believe things too easily or not understand how the world really works.
Etymology
From French 'naïveté,' derived from Latin 'nativus' meaning 'native' or 'natural.' The word originally meant simple or natural, but evolved to describe someone whose natural innocence makes them gullible or inexperienced.
Kelly Says
Psychologists have found that children's naivety isn't a flaw but a feature—it lets them learn and trust without cynicism, which is why kids can master languages faster than adults who've become suspicious and careful.
