Etymology
The word 'wise' originated from the Old English word 'wฤซs', which means having the power of discerning and judging correctly as to what is true or right. Over time, the word has evolved to represent someone who possesses knowledge and experience to make good decisions. Being wise is often associated with age and life experience, as well as the ability to learn from past mistakes and apply that knowledge to future situations.
