Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *źināˀtei, alternative form of *źnōˀtei; compare Latvian zinât (know), Old Prussian posinnat (confess), Proto-Slavic *znàti, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵn̥néh₃ti, from *ǵneh₃- (to know). The Baltic words are from the nasal-infixed present, *ǵn̥néh₃-, while the Slavic forms are from the aorist, *ǵnéh₃-.[1] Cognates include Proto-Germanic *kunnaną, Sanskrit जानाति (jānā́ti, know), Ancient Greek γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō, know), Latin nōscō (know, recognise).

In view of the present tense and derivatives, the verb was apparently later reanalysed as containing the verbal suffix -óti.
