Not a stupid question if you ask me ...

In fact, it's annoyingly difficult!
How about this one: goto (start of) word
:nn <silent> \gw :<C-U>call search('\w\>','c')<CR>b
It's basically eb , but will work if on the last character of the word.
But ... will not work on a single character word.
Another (more ambitious) try:
map <Leader>gw <Plug>sow
noremap <silent> <Plug>sow :<C-U>call Sow(0)<CR>
vnoremap <silent> <Plug>sow :<C-U>call Sow(1)<CR>
" move cursor to Start of word (the word returned by expand("<cword>"))
func! Sow(vmode)
if a:vmode
normal! gv
endif
let xw = expand("<cword>")
if xw != ""
call search('\k\>',"cW")
if strlen(xw) > 1
normal! b
endif
endif
endfunc
