must (definition) be obliged to; should (expressing necessity)

Source: I searched google and used these 2 keywords "define + must"

It's a complete and total non-sequitur to me. 🤦‍♂️

This may surprise you, but I know what "must" means. I am a native speaker of English. 

Could you give me an example of something which doesn't have some reason or cause behind it?
