Greek! (Agnostic) – Greek ‘agnst’

(os), variant of ‘agntos’ (not known), incapable of being known ( a-6+ gnts known, adj., ana., spr.) Deriving from base of gignskein to know or. +-ic, after gnostic; said to be coined by T.H. Huxley in 1869

On the surface of the word, “political agnostic” is applied to questions of philosophy, science, religion and politics. In a more recent trend, one can be agnostic simply by not taking a stand on something. In 2010, President Obama called himself agnostic on tax cuts until he had seen all available options. GE CEO Jeff Immelt says he’s a “fuel agnostic” when requested specifically on GE’s Sustainable Energy Focus and Renewables in June 2008. In technology, software or hardware can be said to be agnostic as well. Computer code that can run on any operating system is called platform agnostic, and such services as phone and electric may be considered agnostic if not dedicated to a specific carrier, device, or user interface.
