AHA

Cardiac health organization

Aha is an exclamation of sudden understanding, discovery, or triumph: Aha, so that's how it works!

It marks the moment when something clicks into place—a realization, a solution, or catching someone in the act: Aha! I knew you were the one eating my leftovers.

An aha moment is that flash of insight.
