Root Explanation

Knowingness → It is formed from "know" (from Old English "cnawan", meaning to perceive or understand) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process) combined with "-ness" (indicating a state or quality). The word "knowingness" refers to the state or quality of being aware or having knowledge.

Memory Tip

Think of the action of 'knowing' and how adding '-ness' transforms it into a state of awareness or understanding.
