Etymology

The word 'sensible' originates from the Latin word 'sensibilis,' meaning 'able to be perceived.' It came into the English language in the early 15th century, denoting the capacity for sensation or perception. Over time, its meaning evolved to describe the ability to make judgments based on rational thought rather than emotion. The formation of the superlative 'sensiblest' follows the regular conversion patterns in English, adding the '-est' suffix to indicate the highest degree of the quality described by the adjective. This evolution reflects a broader societal appreciation for rationality and practical decision-making, especially during periods that value enlightenment and reason.
