Word origin

The word 'sensible' originated from the Latin word 'sensibilis', which means 'capable of perception'. Over time, it evolved to its current meaning of having good sense or judgment. The term has been in use since the 14th century and has remained a common word in the English language due to its practical and versatile nature.
