To navigate is to admit you're lost, then lie about it confidently.
means To plan and steer a course from one place to another, whether across an ocean, a city, or a tricky conversation.
from From Latin navigare, 'to sail a ship,' built from navis, 'ship' (a cousin of the Greek naus and English 'nautical') plus agere, 'to drive' — the same agere that powers 'agent' and 'act.' So at its root, to navigate is literally to drive a ship, and the word later drifted onto roads, software menus, and awkward small talk without ever losing its salty origins.
