To acquaint someone with something is to make them familiar with it or to introduce them to it. It often involves giving basic information or a first experience.
From Old French 'acointer' and Latin 'accognitare', related to 'cognoscere' (to know). It literally means 'to cause to know'.
Acquaint is like gently opening a door to new knowledge or people. It’s a softer cousin of 'inform'—less about dumping facts and more about a friendly first meeting with an idea.
