the.com/sixth sense

the gut feeling your brain calculated before bothering to tell you why.

means An intuitive perception or instinct that seems to operate beyond the five recognized senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

from A straightforward English compound built on the ancient five-senses scheme that Aristotle laid out — the "sixth" being whatever extra faculty the five couldn't account for. The numbered phrasing came into use in the 18th century, sometimes meaning a genuine physiological sense, but it settled into its modern flavor of uncanny intuition and the supernatural as that sense of "beyond the ordinary five" took hold.
