Where this word comes from
Disputed. Ultimately from the root *ǵneh₃- (“to know, recognize”). It may have emerged as a denominative verb to ignārus. Perhaps the term shifted from -ā- to -ō- under the model of ignōtus. De Vaan, however, considers it unlikely that such a shift would have occurred whilst the adjective gnārus remained unchanged. Instead, De Vaan argues for a derivation from Proto-Italic *gnō-sāō (“to know”), itself a denominative to a noun *gnō-sā- (“knowledge”). De Vaan further suggests that the term may have derived more directly from a Proto-Indo-European verb *ǵnéh₃-s- (“to recognize, know”), as the possible cognate Hittite 𒅗𒉌𒌍𒍣 (ka-ni-eš-zi /kane/iššzi/, “to recognize, acknowledge”) may attest to a Proto-Indo-European form.
