Root Explanation

Nonintuitive → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "intuitive" (from Latin "intuitus", meaning to look at or consider). The word describes something that is not easily understood or grasped without prior knowledge or experience.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') easily 'understood' ('intuitive') — that's why nonintuitive means something that isn't straightforward to grasp.
