The term "in tuition" refers to the quality of being inward-looking or introspective. It is pronounced as /ɪn tjuːˈɪʃən/ and spelled with a double-n in the middle. The first syllable "in" is pronounced as in the word "insect," while the second syllable "tuition" is pronounced as in "tune." The word "tuition" originally referred to teaching or instruction, and its usage as a prefix in "in tuition" suggests an inward focus on the process of learning and self-reflection.
The word "intuition" derives from the Latin word "intuitus", which loosely translates to "a look, gaze, or perception". It was initially used in the philosophical context to mean immediate cognition or knowledge without the need for conscious reasoning. Over time, the term evolved and expanded to refer to the ability to understand or sense something instinctively or without explicit evidence or reasoning.
