In reply to:I know what "it" means or causes but at a loss to explain to someone else as it was explained to me.
Apparently Augustine had the same problem with time. He said something like, "When I explain it to myself I understand it, but if I explain it to anyone else, I don't understand it." I haven't got to that bit yet (if indeed it comes from the Confessions), but I'll let you know if he has a word for this phenomenon.
