Using the traditional analogy of the water hose, you can think of an inductor as a particular case where instead of water, the electrons are a non-Newtonian fluid, so the harder you push them the harder it is for them to move.

Inductance in this case is how hard the non-Newtonian fluid gets when you touch it. In other words, the higher the inductance the less the non-Newtonian fluid can change speed without becoming solid.
