Thought this [NPR interview](https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91284151) was a cool high level explanation. It could be stress induced, it could be we fixate on the wrong word, our memory could be temporarily blocked but an association or hint could unlock it. Lots of papers and research on this phenomenon called “tip of the tongue phenomenon” or lethologica.
