'recognition' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'recognitio,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'cognoscere' meant 'to know.' 'Inspired' comes from Latin 'inspirare,' meaning 'to breathe into.'

'recognitio' transformed into the Old French word 'recognicion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'recognition.' 'Inspirare' evolved into the Old French 'inspirer,' leading to the modern English 'inspired.'

Initially, 'recognition' meant 'to know again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'acknowledgment or appreciation.' 'Inspired' originally meant 'to breathe into,' now meaning 'motivated or influenced by.'
