the sense that tells you where your limbs are without looking, like a built-in GPS for your own body.
means the perception of your body's movement, position, and effort, sensed through muscles, tendons, and joints rather than sight.
from from greek kinein (to move) plus aisthesis (perception), coined in the 1880s as scientists realized the body needed its own private sense of motion, separate from touch or sight.
