Answer: in·tu·i·tion
NOUN
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning:
"we shall allow our intuition to guide us"
a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning:
"your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought"
Step-by-step explanation:
Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without recourse to conscious reasoning. Different fields use the word "intuition" in very different ways, including but not limited to: direct access to unconscious knowledge; unconscious cognition; gut feelings; inner sensing; inner insight to unconscious pattern recognition; and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning. Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate.
The word intuition comes from the Latin verb intueri translated as "consider" or from the late middle English word intuit, "to contemplate". The use of intuition is sometimes referred to as responding to a "gut feeling" or "trusting your gut".
