 I think this is what we call implicit learning? Learning complex information in an unintentional manner, without awareness of what has been learned. There are more words with logical structure like this…

Beside, beneath, behind etc

And then more complex ones…
Breakfast (break the fast)
Goodbye (God be with ye)
Understand (stand under something, implying a foundation of knowledge)

🤯 I love linguistics!
