Etymology

**Etymology of *perspicace* (noun).** The French adjective *perspicace* comes from the Latin *perspicax*, formed from *per-* (“thoroughly, completely”) + *specere* (“to look”). It entered Old French as *perspicace* in the 13th–14th centuries, originally meaning “seeing through” or “keenly perceptive,” and has retained this sense into modern French.
