rCLdid robert heinlein invent the work grok ?rCY
"Yes, Robert A. Heinlein did invent the word "grok." He introduced it in
his 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land. In the book,
"grok" is a Martian word that roughly translates to understanding
something or someone deeply and intuitively, often implying a profound
empathy or connection. Heinlein created the term, and it has since
entered popular culture, even finding its way into some dictionaries due
to its widespread use. Pretty cool legacy for a writer, right?"
Way cool !
