Picture walking into country nobody in your group has mapped: you go in without knowing what is there, and you come out knowing more. That is the whole word — going into the unknown on purpose, to find out. The second use walks that same route inside an idea instead of a landscape.

可以想成:走進一片你們還沒畫過地圖的土地——進去的時候不知道裡面有什麼,出來的時候知道得比較多了。整個字就是這件事:刻意走進未知,為了弄清楚。第二個用法走的是同一條路線,只是那片未知從地形換成了一個想法或主題。
