Scrabble?! UNCANNINESS

Definitions of UNCANNINESS in various dictionaries:

The uncanny is the psychological experience of something as strangely familiar, rather than simply mysterious. It may describe incidents where a familiar object or event is encountered in an unsettling, eerie, or taboo context.The concept of the uncanny was perhaps first fixed by Sigmund Freud in his 1919 essay Das Unheimliche, which explores the eerieness of dolls and waxworks. For Freud, the uncanny locates the strangeness in the ordinary, disturbing the boundary between the living and dead. Expanding on the idea, psychoanalytic theorist Jacques Lacan wrote that the uncanny places us "in the field where we do not know how to distinguish bad and good, pleasure from displeasure", resulting in an irreducible anxiety that gestures to the Real. The concept has since been taken up by a variety of subsequent thinkers and theorists such as Roboticist Masahiro Mori's "uncanny valley" hypothesis and Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection.
