The word "science" stems from the word "scire" meaning what?

The story behind the answer

The correct answer is “To know.” “Science” comes from the Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge,” which derives from the verb scire, “to know.” So at its core, science is about knowing—gaining reliable knowledge about the natural world through observation and experiment.

Fun context: Many English words share this root. Omniscient means “all-knowing,” prescient means “knowing beforehand,” and conscience is literally “knowing with” yourself. In medieval universities, scientia referred to organized bodies of knowledge; modern science refines that into systematic inquiry. Memory tip: Think “sci-” as “see”—science helps us
