identifying someone or something from previous knowledge; acknowledging the existence or validity of something
from Latin 'recognoscere' meaning 'to review, recall to mind', from 're-' (again) + 'cognoscere' (to get to know)
Your brain is constantly recognizing things - faces, voices, smells, patterns. It's literally 're-knowing' something, like your mind saying 'Hey, I've seen this before!' and pulling up the file.
