The act or process of acknowledging or recognizing something, particularly in a formal or official manner.
From Latin 'agnoscere' (to acknowledge, recognize) combining 'ad-' (to) + 'gnoscere' (to know), plus the suffix '-fication.' The term appears in formal legal and diplomatic contexts.
This rare word survives mainly in law and diplomacy—when countries formally 'agnify' something, they're officially recognizing it as true or legitimate in the most formal way possible!
