Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin ignōrāmus, ignōrāre.

Etymology: < classical Latin ignōrāmus ‘we do not know’, (in legal use) ‘we take no notice of (it)’, 1st person plural of ignōrāre ignore v.Attested early in sense 2 as the name of fictional characters, typically in a legal context. Compare the following words spoken by Master Ignorance, the ‘bailie of Dunstable’, in the anonymous Tudor play Richard II:c1595 First Pt. Reign Richard II (1929) 54 My brother, m^r Ignoramus, he wilbe most pestifferous vnto ye I assure ye.Popularized in this sense by G. Ruggle's controversial Latin play Ignoramus (1615) ‘written to expose the ignorance and arrogance of the common lawyers’, in which ‘Ignoramus’ is the name of a lawyer; compare also Case & Argument against Sir Ignoramus of Cambridg, a satire on the laws governing ecclesiastical benefices, written in 1616 by the barrister R. Callis (in direct response to Ruggle's play, although not published until 1648), in which ‘Sir Ignoramus’ is the name of a corrupt cleric. In the plural form ignorami by analogy with Latin nouns of the second declension ending in -us.

a. Criminal Law. A notation made by a grand jury on an indictment presented to it, when it finds insufficient evidence for prosecution before a trial jury; (hence) a rejection of an indictment on these grounds. Also as int., used to express rejection of the indictment. Cf. to find a true bill at bill n.³ 4a.The procedure of rejecting a bill with the notation ‘ignoramus’ is still used in the Liberian legal system. In the United States, which is the only other jurisdiction where grand juries are still used, ‘ignoramus’ has been superseded by ‘not a true bill’, ‘not found’, or ‘no bill’. Cf. no bill n.Often in various fixed collocations as to find ignoramus, to return ignoramus, etc.
