ELI5:Scientifically, what is "intuition"?

Scientifically speaking, what exactly is intuition? Is it a culmination of unconscious intelligence or something else?

One author has defined it as the subconscious reaching a conclusion before the conscious mind even knows there is a question. For instance, you might see a shady-looking dude approaching you in a dark parking lot and your hair stands on end long before you process that he's walking too fast, maybe has clenched fists, and has murder in his eyes. In other words, your brain goes from A to Z before your conscious mind his even evaluated the situation.
