insee

verb

1. To see into; to observe acutely.

   First, moving from his internal region outwards to other internal regions, the speaker insees the "tear inside the stone."

2. To have or gain insight into; to empathise with or come to fully understand one's point of view.

   This process of intuitional knowledge is strikingly analogous to the process of inseeing (Einsehen) Rilke described in his letters. I love inseeing. Can you imagine with me how glorious it is to insee...

3. To inspect.

Where it comes from

From in- + see, or taken as a back-formation of inseeing, itself a loan-translation / calque of German Einsehen (“recognition, observation”). Compare Old English onsēon (“to look on, observe, regard, take notice of”). More at insight.
