Definition
A person who is knowledgeable or has expertise in a particular field; a connoisseur.
Etymology
From French 'cognoscent,' derived from Latin 'cognoscens,' the present participle of 'cognoscere' (to know). Used in English since the 17th century to describe someone with sophisticated knowledge.
Kelly Says
A cognoscent is basically a fancy word for someone really into something—a wine cognoscent knows wine the way a sommelier does, while an art cognoscent can spot a fake painting from across a room!
