Neglectfulness (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laxity

'neglectfulness' is the definition.
(laxity is a kind of neglectfulness)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for laxity that I've seen before include "Poor discipline, lack of authority" , "Carelessness or negligence" , "Slackness, absence of discipline" , "Lack of precision" , "Freedom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
