Irrition
n.
regret at having cracked the code of something, which leaves you wishing you could forget the pattern—longing to unsee an optical illusion, to unlearn the formula behind your favorite songs and shows and movies, or re-canonize a role model you made the mistake of meeting in person.
Tahitian iriti, to translate + iriti, to be convulsed. Pronounced “ih-ri-shun.”
