        not concern the inquirer.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              A wise man is not inquisitive about things
              impertinent.                          --Broome.
        [1913 Webster]

                                                    Watts.
  
     Syn: Inquiring; prying; curious; meddling; intrusive.
  
     Usage: Inquisitive, Curious, Prying. Curious denotes a
            feeling, and inquisitive a habit. We are curious when
            we desire to learn something new; we are inquisitive
            when we set ourselves to gain it by inquiry or
            research. Prying implies inquisitiveness, and is more
            commonly used in a bad sense, as indicating a desire
            to penetrate into the secrets of others.
