Un, for not
can, from "ken", an old English root for "know"
y, to make it an adjective.
Uncanny (without looking in the dictionary) sort of means unthinkable, unbelievable, etc. "How could he have done that? It's uncanny." I can't imagine how he did it.

If you are talking to someone and they are very knowledgeable about topics and very interesting. . .giving facts that you just don't know how they could have obtained them: that is uncanny. Also, if it seems like someone knows something about you or something that is private or they say something that you were just about to say (exactly): that would be a situation you would say "That is uncanny!"
