People get so caught up in the popular use of words that they forget that in order to fully understand a word you need to take it back to its root.

Gnosticism is not the root of agnosticism. Both have gnosis, or knowledge, as their root. Agnosticism is not the opposite of gnosticism. Come on.
Agnostic... "a-" as in "non" and gnostic as in "knowledge"... Not having knowledge. Not being sure.
