cogniscente is the singular...'i' the plural, so the former

Grammatically cognoscente is the singular of the noun, cognoscenti is the plural. The clue says "person" so the former should be correct.

I seem to remember this answer appeared in the same crossword a couple of months ago and the setter didn't know the diffence between the singular and the plural that time!

From WordNet (r) 1.6 :

cognoscenti
n : an expert able to appreciate a field; especially in the fine
arts [syn: connoisseur]


doesnt that mean it could be either singular or plural, as it says 'expert'.
