The root word for science comes from the old Greek, scienta meaning 'to know'. Thus science concerns itself with things that may be known. As distinct from things which are the subject of belief. e.g the tooth fairy.
The word science occurs in other words, such as 'prescience', 'omniscience', and 'conscience'. Meaning respectively 'to know before', 'to be possessed of all knowledge', and 'to know is wrong'.
