(acknowledgement)
expressions of gratitude
Etymology
'acknowledgement' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'aknowlechen,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'knowlechen' meant 'to recognize or admit.'
'aknowlechen' transformed into the modern English word 'acknowledgement' through the influence of the prefix 'ac-' and the suffix '-ment.'
Initially, it meant 'to recognize or admit,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'expressions of gratitude or recognition.'
