+ '''innōtēscō''' (present infinitive innōtēscere, perfect active innōtuī); third conjugation, no supine stem^(Wiktionary)

+ A spelling ''innōtīscō'' is found in late and medieval texts.^(Georges 1913)^(MLW)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|in-|nōtēscō|t2=to become known]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) The simple verb belongs to the family of [[m|la|nōscō|t=to get to know]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*gnōske-]] and [[ine-pro|*ǵnh₃-sḱé-|t=to get to know]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ It appears in Augustan writers: Livy has ''quod ubi innōtuit'', “when this became known”, and Ovid says that a girl became known through his books.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The verb was used of facts that become known,^(OLD 2012) and of people who become noted or famous, whether by fraud (Phaedrus), by a scandalous picture (the painter Ctesilochus in Pliny the Elder) or by crimes (Valerius Maximus).^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Jurists use it impersonally with an infinitive clause, as when a guardian learns that he is guardian,^(Georges 1913) and Ammianus Marcellinus of daylight growing clear.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ In Late Latin it also became transitive, “to make known”,^(Georges 1913)^(Wiktionary) a use Wiktionary labels as stigmatized;^(Wiktionary) Cassiodorus has it of people reporting themselves.^(Georges 1913) Medieval writers used it for becoming known, standing out, and announcing or making known.^(MLW)
