care
Show genuine interest
Care centers on attention and concern.
To care about something is to regard it as important; to care for someone is to look after them.
A caregiver provides care.
I don't care dismisses something as unimportant.
Take care means be careful or, as a farewell, stay well.
Handle with care warns of fragility.
Cares are worries or burdens: the cares of the world.
Couldn't care less expresses total indifference—though could care less, logically backward, means the same thing.
