Meaning and Origin
The word "acquaint" comes from the Old French word acointer, which ultimately derives from the Latin verb accolligere. This Latin verb means "to bring together" or "to gather", and is related to the Proto-Indo-European root *-kol-, also meaning "to gather".
In English, the word "acquaint" has come to mean "to make familiar with" or "to introduce to". It is often used in the context of meeting someone for the first time or learning something new.
