It's natural, I think. When I think about a word in English, I don't normally come up with dictionary definitions, but rather usage examples and synonyms. I think that's basically what's happening here, too. I suspect it’s a good thing (the same thing happens to me). It’s natural, I think.

I find myself rereading the article periodically for small nuggets of advice. For example, I thought I understood the definition of some new words and the example given in the sentence. But in the back of my mind, I knew I didn't truly understand or know what context to use the new word even with the examples given in the book. By after rereading your article, I used Google news to find additional real world usage examples that helped me to fully understand the new term. Also, I find more often than not that my mind recalls the context or usage example prior to recalling the definition. The usage examples usually pops rather quickly and then like magic, the definition just pops from my memory. I wonder if this is a good thing??? I suspect it would be cause I memorized definitions previously without any contexts but it definitely is painful to recall it in the future cause of the lack of some contexts. Thanks agian!
