Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃- Proto-Indo-European *-sḱéti Proto-Indo-European *ǵn̥h₃sḱéti Proto-Italic *gnōskō Latin gnōscō Latin nōscō? Latin nota Traditionally referred to nōscō (“to know”), thus "a means of recognition" (cf. nōtiō, nōtitia), with perhaps the same short o of agnitus, cognitus. This etymology has been disputed, for instance by De Vaan, who says that there is no credible etymology for the word.
