corazonada

/koɾaθoˈnada/ · B2 · noun · f

intuition

❤️ corazón (heart) + -ada = a heart-driven act, a feeling from the heart

Corazonada comes from corazón, heart, plus the suffix -ada, which makes a noun for an act or a blow. So it is a heart-thing: a nudge you act on without a reason. English has the same link in the phrase to follow your heart.
