grok
[20th c., from Martian (?) "to perceive, understand profoundly." According to Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day (Feb 16, 2007), "Grok may be the only English word that derives from Martian." The word entered the vocablary of the young in America, 1960s. Robert A. Heinlein REPORTS in Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) about Valentine Michael Smith who comes from Mars and speaks Martian on Earth... (or on the pages of the book only?) Earthlings learned, or learn, grok from him.]
