Acquaintance refers to a person one knows slightly, but who is not a close friend. The term derives from the Middle English "acqueyntaunce," which comes from the Old French "acointance," based on the verb "acointier" meaning "to make known" or "to become familiar." Its roots trace back to the Latin word "cognoscere," meaning "to know," highlighting the idea of familiarity without deep personal connection.
