notion

from Latin notio ('action of getting to know') derived from nosco ('to get to know') archaically gnosco (we find this archaic root in 'cognition'), whose root comes from the *gno ('to know') from which 'gnosis' comes via ancient Greek γνῶσις ('knowledge') and which has given the verbs 'know' in English, 'kennen' in German ('to know').
