On Anki when I figure out I don't understand something by failing a card multiple times, I break the card into smaller components that dive into keywords, history, and definitions to provide enough context to hold the difficult card.
A lot of the value is not bullshitting yourself if you don't know something, as indicated by failing the card, then figuring out what you need to know so the higher level concept makes sense.
