Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'γνωστός' meaning 'known' derives from Ancient Greek 'γνωστός' (gnōstós), which means 'known, notable'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'γιγνώσκω' (gignṓskō), meaning 'to know, to recognize'. The root of this verb is related to the Proto-Indo-European root *ǵneh₃-, which means 'to know'.
