'intuition' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intuitio,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'tueri' meant 'to look at.'

'intuitio' transformed into the French word 'intuition,' and eventually became the modern English word 'intuition' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to look at or consider,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'understanding without reasoning.'
