==Description==
==Description==
'''Innocence''' can also refer to a [[state]] of unknowing, where one's [[experience]] is lesser, in either a [[relative]] view to social [[peers]], or by an [[absolute]] comparison to a more common [[normative]] scale. In [[contrast]] to ignorance, it is generally viewed as a positive term, connoting an optimistic [[Frame of reference|view of the world]], in particular one where the lack of [[knowledge]] stems from a lack of wrongdoing, whereas greater [[knowledge]] comes from doing wrong. This connotation may be connected with a popular false etymology explaining "innocent" as meaning "not knowing" (Latin noscere). The actual etymology is from general negation prefix in- and the Latin nocere, "[[evil]]" or "[[guilty]]".
