Etymology

**Astuce** comes from Old French *astuce* “cunning trick”, which in turn is borrowed from Latin *astutia* “artifice, trickery”. The Latin term is derived from *astutus*, meaning “clever, sly”, itself a derivative of a Proto‑Indo‑European root associated with craftiness. Over time the word kept its sense of a sly, clever trick and entered modern French with the same meaning.
