intuitive
UK: ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv | US: ɪnˈtuːɪtɪv
adj. relating to or using intuition (direct perception or insight without conscious reasoning)
adj. easy to understand or operate without explicit instruction
The word "intuitive" stems from the Latin intueri ("to look at, contemplate"), combining in- (a negating or intensive prefix) and tueri ("to guard, observe"). Over time, it evolved to signify direct inner perception—bypassing logical steps—akin to "seeing" truth instinctively. The suffix -ive marks it as an adjective, solidifying its modern meaning of instinctive understanding.
