OP I encountered this word in an astronomy article in DISCOVER magazine. I checked, and found
it had been used in AWADtalk, twice erroneously, and never defined.
The errors consisted of not noticing the difference between singular and plural.

n.,
pl. ti orig. prp. of conoscere, to know < L cognoscere: see COGNITION6 a person with special knowledge in some field, esp. in the fine arts; expert
