Derstand

Derstand: verb. To be in a state of ignorance about some particular thing or things in general. Understanding is a negation of this state of ignorance - derstanding. An example of the word derstand and derstanding used in context would be the following: "Mr Brown completely derstood his wife. He did not care to learn about her interests or hobbies, and the only thing he ever talked to her about was Nihilism, which she boycotted, being a die-hard Existentialist. Of course, her husband did not know that, assuming her, in his derstanding, to be an Absurdist."
