köken: Inherited from Old French conoissance, from Late Latin cognōscentia, from Latin cognōscēns.
aile: à ma connaissance, à sa connaissance, avoir connaissance, en connaissance de cause, faire connaissance, faire la connaissance, perdre connaissance, prendre connaissance, reconnaissance, reprendre connaissance
köken: From Middle Persian [script needed] (ʾšnwʾk' /āšnāg/, “known”), ultimately from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃- (“to know”). Note also Old Persian [script needed] (ašnaiy, “near”). Possibly akin to Old Armenian Աշնակ (Ašnak, a male given name). Related to شناختن (šenâxtan, “to know, to be acquainted with”).
çekim: karşılaştırma mer bekant · üstünlük mest bekant
köken: Borrowed from German bekannt (“known, acquainted”), from Middle High German bekant, past participle of bekennen (“to know; to make known”). The verb also developed the sense “to confess” in German, which was separately loaned into Swedish as bekänna. Here the Swedish past participle is bekänd (“confessed”).
familiar (demon supposedly attending and obeying a witch, often said to assume the form of an animal) · hide and seek (game where the players have to hide and one has to seek them out)
köken: Either a loan from Yiddish חבֿר (khaver, “friend, boyfriend”), or a blend of kamraati + toveri. The former of these is now considered more likely. The word is also attested in the sense “companion (in crime)”, so it may have originated in argot.
