To "grok" (/'grok/): to intimately and completely share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity. Origin: Author Robert A. Heinlein 1961 Stranger in a Strange Land. "to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes part of the observed" The emphatic form is "grok in fullness". When you claim to "grok" some knowledge or technique, you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your identity. To say you are a "grokker” is to claim that you have been transformed.
