counter-intuitiveadj.

Etymology: counter- prefix 2i(a).Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˌcounter-inˈtuitive.

Contrary to intuition; that is opposed to or not what would be expected intuitively; apparently improbable. Also, that acts or responds in such a way.

1964 Amer. Philos. Q. 1 258/2 The formulas offered by Day lead to results so counter-intuitive that they had best be called simply false.

1970 Times 9 Mar. 25/5 The point of this story is not to enter into a discussion of urban renewal policies but to illustrate what Forrester sees as a main characteristic of complex systems: that they are counter-intuitive; that they display complicated — and probably unpredictable — response patterns to simple system or input changes.

1979 Sci. Amer. Apr. 134/3 At first the effect of the dimples seems counterintuitive because the dimpling surely also increases the skin-friction drag.

1985 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 1 June 1647/1 This simple claim that all sentient beings are morally equivalent is highly counterintuitive.
