Oooh look at this:

Intuition refers to the ability to acquire knowledge without the need for conscious reasoning or explanation. It is a form of knowledge that appears in consciousness without obvious deliberation, generated by the unconscious mind rapidly sifting through past experience and cumulative knowledge.

Different fields use the word "intuition" in different ways, including direct access to unconscious knowledge, unconscious cognition, gut feelings, inner sensing, inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition, and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning.
