Why this word is great

NOETIC — [Adjective] Of, relating to, or originating in the intellect or reason. From the Ancient Greek νοητικός (noētikós, "intelligent, intellectual"), from νοέω (noéō, "I perceive, understand, think"), ultimately from νοῦς (noûs, "mind, intellect"). Unlike "empirical" (which scrapes knowledge from the rough world of the senses) or "visceral" (which answers to the gut's mute imperative), "noetic" describes truth apprehended in the silent, well-ordered chamber of thought. It is the sudden, crystalline solution to a theorem, the austere architecture of a logical syllogism, and the unshakeable inner certainty of a self-evident truth—the mind's quiet, sovereign act of knowing itself, and thereby knowing something true about the structure of all things.
