I want to connect this lineage to Sanskrit because, well, we can. Or at least should be able to easily do so with Proto-Indo-European (PIE) roots.

You might recognize “cogito” from Descartes’ “Cogito, ergo sum.” There’s debate over whether that was intentional or him being lost in translation. But 18th century philosophers continued the shift to internal mental life, making the “thinking subject” central to cognition.

The Latin verb cogitare from co- (“together, intensively”) + agitare (“to drive, set in motion”), separately gave rise to cogito (“I think”), emphasizing internal, reflective, deliberative thought instead of knowing external objects. It has a different PIE root ag- (“to drive, move”).

From which, the Latin verb cognoscere emerged, meaning “to come to know” or “to be acquainted with,” derived from the prefix co- (“together”) and gnoscere (“to know”). This emphasizes knowledge or recognition of external objects.

We can trace the word “cognition” back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *ǵneh₃, meaning “to know.” This root evolved into the Greek verb γιγνώσκω (gignōskō), meaning “I know,” “I come to know,” or “I recognize,” and the noun γνῶσις (gnōsis), meaning “knowledge.”

Sanskrit has so many words for the different modalities of thinking and knowing; it’s incredibly granular.

Many cognitive scientists would hate me for saying it, but I’ve always believed the field of cognitive science has more in common with behaviorism than it would care to admit.
