H1843 דֵּעַ dêaʻ → ← H3045 יָדַע yâdaʻ
3 languagesA noun signifying knowledge, comprehension, or insight, often denoting awareness or understanding acquired through observation, experience, or reflection.

In some contexts it can also signify the faculty or capacity to know or form opinions.
Etymology
Derived from the root ידה (yada‘), meaning 'to know,' with the abstract noun formation yielding דֵּעַ to indicate the state, quality, or content of knowing or knowledge. The root refers to perception, recognition, or discernment, but the noun itself is especially focused on what is known or the capacity for such knowledge.
