intuitionistic = intuition (transparent) = intuition + istic

Formed directly from the noun 'intuition' plus the adjectival suffix '-istic', giving the straightforward meaning 'pertaining to or based on intuition'.

Etymology

Intuitionistic comes from intuition, which means 'a quick, inner knowing'. A helpful image is choosing by a strong feeling or inner sight instead of checking every fact, so intuitionistic describes actions or styles guided by that immediate feeling rather than formal proof.
