Perspicacious



perspicacious \ˌpur-spi-ˈkā-shəs\ noun: having keen mental perception and understanding; discerning

Etymology: Late Latine perspicācitās discernment, from Latin perspicax sharp-sighted, from perspicere to see through

Don’t confuse perspicacious with yesterday’s entry perspicuous.
