To think, ponder, or consider (archaic or poetic form); from the Latin verb cognitus.
From Latin 'cogitare' (to think), which became the foundation for many English words. The '-it' form may reflect Latin conjugation or archaic English verb forms.
This is super rare, but 'cogit' is basically the ancestor of our whole family of 'cogitate' words—it's the bare-bones Latin root that Descartes used in his famous 'I think, therefore I am'!
