Why this word is great
HENID — [Noun] A vague, half-formed thought or feeling that cannot yet be separated into distinct intellectual or emotional components. Coined by Otto Weininger from Ancient Greek ἕν (hén, "single thing") + the suffix -id, indicating a state of being undifferentiated. Unlike an "inkling," which implies a delicate, intuitive suspicion, or a "concept," which denotes a fully formed, abstract idea, a henid is the primordial mental murk from which such things might—or might not—condense. It is the taste on your tongue before the word "bitter" arrives, the shapeless discomfort in a room where nothing is outwardly wrong, or the ghost of a forgotten melody that evaporates when you try to hum it. The henid is the mind’s raw, undigested material, from which all understanding and all disappointment must eventually condense.
