"納得" (nattoku) is a Japanese term that expresses the feeling of understanding, acceptance, or agreement after consideration or comprehension. It refers to a personal, internal realization or consensus.

This word is often used when someone comprehends or accepts an explanation, argument, or viewpoint. For instance, if someone explains a complex concept to you, and you finally understand it, you might say you have "納得" - you understand and accept the explanation given.

In English, there's not a direct one-word translation for "納得", but phrases such as "coming to understand", "reaching agreement", "feeling convinced", or "gaining acceptance" can convey similar meanings.

It's important to note that "納得" is a subjective feeling - it represents an individual's personal process of understanding or agreeing with something. In a democratic context, for example, "納得" might refer to an individual's personal agreement with a particular issue or with the decision-making process.
