Is there a legal term or arcane word you have used in your research and you "know" what it means because you've always "known" it? Are you certain what it means? Are you completely positive about the definition? Is there a chance that there is a nuance to the meaning of which you are unaware? Consider looking up a definition. You may confirm your knowledge or end up educating yourself.
The 'genealogy' of a word can be very interesting.
