Formed from the prefix ανα- ('again, back') plus the verb γνωρίζω ('to know, make known'), already attested in Ancient Greek as ἀναγνωρίζω 'to recognize, know again'. The γνωρ- element belongs to the wide family of γνῶσις ('knowledge') and γιγνώσκω ('to know'), going back to the Proto-Indo-European root for knowing.
