To grok is to understand something deeply and intuitively. The transitive verb (grokked, grokking), coined by Robert A. Heinlein in his 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land, has made it into mundane dictionaries, but it was fanspeak first.
“I grok Spock” was a catchphrase during the late 1960s and ’70s.
