You know, I know the word “perspicacious” in that I could see it in a body of literature and not question or be confused by it, but I actually couldn’t have told you what it means before now. Thank you for the edification.
It is funny that many formal or litteray vocabulary in english comes from French or have latin roots. As a french speaker, it is much easier to guess a new english word when it is formal speech.

Perspicacious (~sharp senses. English is a second language for me, so I didn’t know that one. Found it in a book, loved it)
