NAIVE
What naive means
Lacking experience, knowledge, or good judgment; too trusting and unwilling to consider that people might deceive you or that things could be more complicated than they appear.
Where the word comes from
From French *naïf* (feminine *naïve*), meaning inborn or natural, from Latin *nativus*, meaning born or natural, derived from *nasci*, to be born. The sense shifted from simply "natural" to "artlessly simple" or "lacking worldly experience" by the 17th century, as natural or unaffected behavior came to suggest innocence or credulity.
