guided by intuition
Etymology
'intuition-driven' originates from the combination of 'intuition' and 'driven', where 'intuition' comes from Latin 'intuitio', meaning 'a looking at' and 'driven' is the past participle of 'drive', meaning 'to propel or urge'.
'intuition' evolved from the Latin word 'intuitio', and 'driven' from Old English 'drifan', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'intuition-driven'.
Initially, 'intuition' meant 'a direct perception of truth', and 'driven' meant 'propelled'. Together, they evolved to describe actions motivated by intuition.
