Also known as understand, comprehension, grasp, Verstand, the understanding
Understanding is a cognitive process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to use concepts to model that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge that are sufficient to support intelligent behavior.
Understanding is the mental ability to grasp how concepts connect to and represent something—whether that's a person, situation, or message—so you can make sense of it. It matters because understanding gives you the knowledge and skills needed to think and act intelligently in relation to what you're trying to comprehend.
