Definition
Deeply confused or puzzled by something that seems mysterious or inexplicable. This involves a sense of wonder mixed with confusion about something beyond normal understanding.
Etymology
From 'mystify,' derived from 'mystic' and French 'mystère,' relating to religious mysteries and hidden truths. The word suggests confusion about something that seems to have deeper, perhaps unknowable, meaning.
Kelly Says
Mystification engages both our analytical and intuitive thinking systems, creating a unique emotional state that combines frustration with awe. This feeling often precedes breakthrough insights because it signals that we're encountering something at the edge of our current understanding.
