*Unheimlich* (German, adj.) — uncanny; eerie, unsettling, strangely unfamiliar — the disquiet of something that is at once foreign and oddly familiar. Literally "un-homely" (*un-* + *heimlich*, from *Heim*, "home"). It is the key term of [[Sigmund Freud]]'s essay *Das Unheimliche* ("The Uncanny"). > [!note] Seedling — this definition is still being developed.
