The character 认, meaning "to recognize" or "to identify", is combined with the character 得, which here functions not as an independent word but as a grammatical particle that attaches to the verb to indicate that the action has been successfully achieved or attained. Thus, the formation fuses the core concept of recognition with the complementary notion of attained result, creating a single unit that means "to recognize" in the sense of being able to identify or know from familiarity.
