Etymology

From Byzantine Greek νιώθω (niṓthō), probably from γνώθω (gnṓthō) influenced by the aorist form ἔγνωσα (égnōsa) (as with γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō) with influence from the aorist ενιωσα (eniōsa) < ενόησα (enóēsa)), from Ancient Greek νοέω (noéō, perceive, notice, think). Alternatively, the Byzantine term may stem from a form *ἐννοιῶ (*ennoiô), from Ancient Greek ἔννοια (énnoia, thought, sense, meaning) (from which the orthographic variant νοιώθω (noiótho)).
