unthankfulness
Lack of gratitude
Unthankfulness is the quality of being ungrateful—failing to acknowledge or appreciate what others have done for you.
The word carries moral weight, suggesting not just oversight but a deficiency of character: His unthankfulness toward those who helped him was noted by everyone.
Less common than ingratitude, it appears mainly in religious or formal contexts.
