शब्द know की उत्पत्ति

शब्द "know" की जड़ें पुरानी अंग्रेज़ी में हैं और यह प्रोटो-जर्मनिक शब्द "*kunniz," से लिया गया है जिसका अर्थ "to know how" या "to be able to." होता है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि यह प्रोटो-जर्मनिक शब्द दो भागों से बना है: "*kunthiz," जिसका अर्थ "to seem" या "to appear," है और "*(-h)iz," जो एक क्रिया-निर्माण प्रत्यय है। पुरानी अंग्रेज़ी शब्द "cunnan" या "cunnon" का अर्थ "to know how to do something" या "to be able to," होता है और इसे अक्सर अन्य शब्दों के साथ संयोजन में "Ic cunne wel" (मैं अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ) या "Hwæt ic cunne" (मैं क्या जानता हूँ) जैसे वाक्यांश बनाने के लिए उपयोग किया जाता था। समय के साथ, शब्द "know" का अर्थ न केवल कुछ करने का ज्ञान, बल्कि किसी चीज़ के बारे में ज्ञान, या किसी चीज़ की पहचान को शामिल करने के लिए विस्तारित हुआ।
