Etymology

The word 'astute' originates from the Middle French term 'astucieux', which is derived from 'astuce', meaning 'trick' or 'skill'. It has been in use in the English language since the early 17th century. Originally, it had a more negative connotation, often associated with craftiness or cunning. Over time, however, the meaning evolved to emphasize perceptiveness and intelligence in judgment. The Latin root 'astutus' also contributes to its definition, highlighting the clever or shrewd nature of a person. As the word gained popularity, it came to be associated with individuals who could navigate complex social or professional landscapes effectively.
