"Gewusst" means "known" (past participle of "wissen," to know).
In a sentence
Ich habe immer gewusst, dass du talentiert bist.
I have always known that you are talented.
Here, 'gewusst' is used as the past participle form of the verb 'wissen' in the present perfect tense, indicating knowledge acquired in the past.
Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich anders gehandelt.
Had I known that, I would have acted differently.
In this example, 'gewusst' appears in a conditional sentence, expressing hypothetical knowledge in the past.

He did not know that the meeting was canceled.
'Gewusst' here is again the past participle of 'wissen' in the present perfect form, used to describe a lack of knowledge about a past event.
