In an other thread, tsuwm suggest GROK, as a favorite new word. The word is not well established world wide, but it does represent the comprehension of a principle, the cartoon lightbulb going on.

there is also street smarts, or being a graduate of the school of hard knocks, and while they are not single words, they do express "hard won knowledge"
