“did robert heinlein invent the work grok ?”

"Yes, Robert A. Heinlein did invent the word "grok." He introduced it in 
his 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land. In the book, 
"grok" is a Martian word that roughly translates to understanding 
something or someone deeply and intuitively, often implying a profound 
empathy or connection. Heinlein created the term, and it has since 
entered popular culture, even finding its way into some dictionaries due 
to its widespread use. Pretty cool legacy for a writer, right?"

Way cool !
