There are also some words that are thoroughly embedded in your culture and yet you still don't really see what they're referencing, which can be quite confusing. For me it's "homesickness." People might ask me if I'm feeling homesick, but the concept just doesn't click for me. I can use the word in a sentence but it somehow feels made up.
