Getting knowledge incognito possibly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cognition

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'getting knowledge' is the definition.
'cognition' can be an answer for 'knowledge' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'getting' bit.

'incognito possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'incognito' with letters rearranged gives 'COGNITION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cognition that I've seen before include "Knowledge - no to icing (anag)" , "Knowledge - incognito (anag)" , "Faculty of knowing while incognito" , "The process of acquiring knowledge" , "awareness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
