So, some of you speakers of other languages, do you have a word for this?
Hola Strantor,

The point that makes hard this, is the necessity to connect two concepts: explaining something - based on - previous experiences. or more precisely, impossibility of explaning something on account of the lack of previous experience on that something.

Hardly possible with one word. Maybe in German? Well known to assemble very long words!!

Just in case, always keep in mind that definitions for a word as in a dictionary are just more words. The key point is when one/many of those words connect you, the reader with your experiences (in strict Spanish translation should be "vivencia" not "experiencia").

Yes, at Babel times we lost our last chance...and that made for the fun!! :p Enjoy it!

Strantor (stran-tor): n - a concept that can only be comprehended after experiencing the concept. As in, sensory experiences, emotions, altered realities, complicated rules or instructions,...

E.g.:
(1) There are so many instructions in baseball that it is a strantor for many people. I finally understood most of it after I watched a few games.
The concept of a strantor also seems to be a strantor for anyone who has not yet experienced a strantor, thus making it a strantological paradox. Strantor is also an example of a strantor.
