what does the word intuition mean?

Answer 1

sixth sense, a feeling.

Answer 2

You might call it a hunch, since it's a feeling or prediction that seems not to be evidence-based.

But often there is a basis in evidence or observation that doesn't register at the time. Suppose you have an intuition that a couple you know - good friends of yours - are going to break up. You can't say why you feel that way. However, women are much better than men at noticing non-verbals like body language, eye contact, tone of voice, and so may pick up clues just by observing the couple when they are together. Maybe that's why it's so often called "women's" intuition.

Answer 3

A strong instinct. Really it is a quality some posses that gives them insight to certain situations. Usually if someone has intuition about a person's future actions, they are extremely alert and probably know that person very well. Therefore, able to predict what path that person will follow in given situations. Others classify intuition as an educated guess.

Answer 4

Intuition is an immediate form of knowledge in which the knower is directly acquainted with the object of knowledge. Intuition differs from all forms of mediated knowledge, which generally involve conceptualizating the object of knowledge by means of rational/analytical thought processes (and, hence, placing a mediating idea or concept between the knower and the known)
