'agnoetae' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'agnoētai,' where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'gnōsis' meant 'knowledge.'

'agnoētai' transformed into the Latin word 'agnoetae,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agnoetae.'

Initially, it meant 'those who do not know,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a sect of Christians who believed Christ was ignorant of certain things.'
