recognising
Knowing upon seeing
Recognising is the British spelling of recognizing—identifying something or someone previously known: I had trouble recognising her after all these years.
It extends to acknowledging or accepting: recognising the need for change, recognising someone's contributions.
The spelling with -ise is standard in British English, while American English uses -ize.
