When you suddenly realize the
meaning
or
derivation
of words you've been saying all along without questioning them. Sometimes it can be shocking, sometimes it's just cool.
The only one i can think of now is when i realized that the opposite of
inept
is
adept
(i'd been trying to invent the word
ept
and realized i didn't need it).
(later)
Oh, wait, here's another: I became briefly
enchanted
with the word
indeed
when i split it into its
component
parts.
