Morphology
cognition = cognitive (semi-transparent) = cognit + ion
Built with the combining form 'cognit-' plus the common nominalizer '-ion'; because the root form is not a standalone English word, learners may only partially infer the precise meaning though they can often guess it relates to thinking or knowledge.
Etymology
Cognition comes from the old Latin word cognoscere (root cogn-) meaning 'to know'. You can see the same root in recognize and recognition, so cognition is simply the mind's work of knowing, thinking, and understanding.
