> [...] I wasn't quite sure what that would mean when applied to a non-transformed, "regular" function.

Have you gained some intuition/understanding for this?

I tried a few inputs in WolframAlpha, but unless I manually type in the integral for the inverse transform there's not even a graph :) (and I have no idea whether it's even the same thing without putting a `t` in the exponent and wrapping it in an f(t) = ... )

Not parent (but GP) and intuition can mean many things but what helped me was keeping in mind:

Every continuous periodic function turns into a discrete aperiodic one when transformed. Works both ways.

Continuous aperiodic stays continuous aperiodic. Discrete periodic stays discrete periodic.
