Etymology

The word 'intuitive' comes from the Latin word 'intuitivus', meaning 'seen by the mind'. The concept of intuition has been studied and debated by philosophers and psychologists for centuries, with some viewing it as a form of unconscious reasoning and others as a separate cognitive process. The modern usage of 'intuitive' reflects a balance between instinctual understanding and ease of use in design and decision-making.
