Etymology of MISKNOWS

The word "misknows" is derived from two elements: "mis-" and "knows".

1. "Mis-" is a prefix in English that means "wrongly" or "incorrectly". It is used to indicate a negation or a mistaken action. In this case, it is used to imply a wrong or mistaken knowledge.

2. "Knows" is the present tense of the verb "know", which means to have information or awareness about something.

When these two elements are combined, "misknows" is formed, which means having a mistaken or incorrect knowledge or understanding about something.
