Dear member,
'Cause of action' means the fact or combination of facts which gives rise to a right to sue.

cause of action arouse means the right to sue became available and the date of knowledge means the date person suing acquire/s knowledge of Cause of action.

for example X kept his belongings with Y in good faith. Y sold them. here the cause of action arouse the day alleged sale took place however X might not became aware of the sale immediately and despite having the cause may not be able to take appropriate actions (i.e. sue)unless he acquires the knowledge...

hope this helps
