Ludiosis

n.
the sense that you’re just making it up as you go along—knowing that if someone asked why you do most things, you couldn’t really come up with a convincing explanation.

In Ancient Rome, Ludi Osci, the Oscan Games, gave rise to the art of improvisational theater. Pronounced “loo-dee-oh-sis.”
