Words that have some historical or cultural connotation can be difficult to translate because for people without the shared experience. I don't think that's mysticism, it's just the way shared understanding lets you pack more into a word. A word it never a self contained payload that conveys a whole concept, it's more like a dictionary key. And so to translate it for people that don't have the same underlying dictionary is way harder.
