Where this word comes from
From viten (“knowledge”) + -skap (“-ship”). Structurally inherited from Danish videnskab, itself after Middle Low German wētenschap (cf. German Wissenschaft). The form with ⟨t⟩ was formed by Knudsen after the underlying verb vite (“to know”), according to his general policy of avoiding inconsistencies between Norwegian and Danish consonantism. In actual usage, the word was exclusively pronounced with /d/, and vitenskap was therefore not standardized before 1938.
