Gnosis

I have no sis
I have nun

words ending in -nosis:
(28) adenosis, ariboflavinosis, autohypnosis, avitaminosis, biocenosis, biocoenosis, byssinosis, calcinosis, cyanosis, diagnosis, gnosis, enosis, hallucinosis, hypervitaminosis, hypnosis, immunodiagnosis, kenosis, misdiagnosis, pollinosis, pollenosis, prognosis, pycnosis, pyknosis, serodiagnosis, stenosis, trichinosis, xerodiagnosis, and zoonosis

the only ones i knew were gnosis, auto/hypnosis, mis/diagnosis, prognosis, and zoonosis

enosis makes me think of enuresis, but it actually means the political union of cyprus and greece

stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body (think "stent")

kenosis is (in christian theology) the renunciation of the divine nature, at least in part, by Christ in the Incarnation.
