Short for 'déjà vu,' the strange feeling that you've experienced something before even though you haven't.
From French 'déjà vu' literally meaning 'already seen,' from Latin 'de' (already) and French 'vu' (seen, past participle of 'voir' meaning 'to see').
Scientists still don't fully understand why déjà vu happens—it might be your brain glitching, or false memory connections firing, and it feels so real that it creeps people out!
