Etymology 2

From Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃-ró-, from *ǵneh₃- (to know), with semantic development into erotic slang from "knowing (women)" > "loving (women)" > "paramour". The semantic shift from "knowing" > "liking, loving", via the same root, has parallels in other Indo-European languages, such as German Bekannter (acquaintance, friend) and French connaisseur (connoisseur).

Noun
