How it's used
Carries a sense of moral or spiritual awakening rather than just simple knowledge. It implies a shift in perspective where someone suddenly understands the gravity of their past actions or a situation. It is often used in contexts involving personal growth or realizing one's mistakes.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the common verb for feeling or sensing, which is 覺得. While 覺悟 implies a deep, often sudden realization, 覺得 is simply used for opinions or physical sensations.
