Why does google does not ignore the word "languages", although I have set to ignore it in advanced search settings.

here is the term I am using in google search:

-languages site:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

and here is the first result where the word "languages" is still present, (you can do a quick crtl+F to find out)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Bedell_Smith
I am just curious to know why google have not ignored the word "languages"?

Have you considered that maybe it is being filtered?
The instance of "languages" you're complaining about is in the (near-)sitewide sidebar. There's a decent chance Google is ignoring that entire area for indexing/results purposes. I've checked a random assortment of ~20 results for that search, and while yes the word always appears there, it has so far never appeared in the actual article content, only in the navigation.

Obviously this isn't definitive until you check a much larger number of the results, but it's suggestive.
