I'm looking for a good word to use for the opposite of agnosia.
A-Gnosis basically is Greek for "non-knowledge", so does anyone know what the Greek for "complete knowledge" is?
Agnosia is commonly used as a suffix or compound word for a lack of ability in certain areas, is there a corresponding suffix/compound for an unusual aptitude in these areas?
Thanks for the help!

There is quite a difference between the terms "gnosia" and "gnosis". "Gnosia" describes the ability to recognize the implicit form & function of objects (including people), whereas "gnosis" (a.k.a. "gnosticism") describes spiritual intuition.
Compound terms ending with the suffix "agnosia," e.g. prosopagnosia & autotopagnosia, describe different forms of impaired recognition.
The simple answer is the antonym to "agnosia" is simply "gnosia," at least in the medical context.

Antonyms is the fancy way of saying opposite. All those words listed in the antonyms section are going to be the total opposite of the word you're looking up.

- would poly-gnosia work? or omni-gnosia? as in OMNI-SCIENCE, the Christian GOD is OMNI-PRESENT, OMNI-POWERFUL, and OMNI-SCIENT
- what about hyper?
