innocence

Innocence is when someone or something is free from guilt or wrongdoing. It's like being pure and clean.

When we talk about innocence, we often think of children who haven't done anything wrong yet. We say things like "He's still innocent" to mean he hasn't made any mistakes. But we also use the word for people who have been wrongly accused or blamed. If someone is accused of a crime they didn't commit, they can be called innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes innocence is also linked with age - being young and inexperienced can make you more innocent because you haven't had time to learn from mistakes yet.
