Knowing what may be Norman (4)
I believe the answer is:
arch
'knowing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arch that I've seen before include "Curve that spans an opening" , "part of fingerprint" , "Supporting structure" , "Curved form" , "one under a foot?" .)
