The answer
HUNCH
What hunch means
A strong feeling or guess about something based on intuition rather than facts or evidence.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "hunche," possibly related to Old Norse "hunkr" (a lump or hump), or derived from a verb meaning to push or thrust. The sense shifted from a physical lump or protuberance to a hunched posture, then to a sudden pushing forward of intuition—what we now call a hunch or premonition. The exact root remains somewhat unclear, but the word has been used in English since at least the 1500s.
