What is the intuition behind the unit normal vector being the derivative of the unit tangent vector?

What is the intuition behind the unit normal vector being the derivative
of the unit tangent vector?

I've seen the math, but... It just doesn't make sense to me. How is the
slope going to point perpendicular to the vector that is clearly a
straight line not going in that direction?
