Windows - I just dont get it

[MAC-W]

Can someone please explain windows to me - in words of one syllable or less?

I understand clarity, I understand colour, I understand grey and brown masks, I understand cut (generally as it applies to diamonds), and I even understand the theoretical explanation of what a window is.

But I just dont see windows unless they''re huuuuuuuuugely obvious.

I look at all these stones that people post here and think "Nice" then someone comes along and says "window". I JUST DONT SEE IT

What am I not understanding? What am I missing? HELP!
