ACUMEN / INSIGHTFUL / KEEN / KNOWLEGEABLE / PERCEPTIVE / SAVVY

Acumen (noun) = it indicates a clarity of thought,, sharpness of perception, keenness of mind, precise insightfulness. Today's word seems to be an orphan but it is related to the family of acuminate "to sharpen, shape into a point," whose noun is "acumination." We see a clearer resemblance in the adjective of today's word. Today's word is more precise and focused than "smart" or "intelligent;" "Marjorie is not only intelligent and well-educated; her acumen leads us through the murkiest problems quickly and surely." In this sentence, using the focused term serves to emphasize (the absence of ) intelligence, "How much acumen does it take to avoid sticking your tongue to a frozen pipe the second time?"
