Word of the Day: Sagacity (CRC) | Wisdom That Leads

Word: Sagacity

Sagacity(noun) means keen perception, sound judgment, and the wisdom to understand situations clearly before making a decision.

According to Merriam-Webster, the word comes from the Latin sagacitas, meaning “keenness of perception.” It is connected to sagax, meaning sharp-minded or quick to perceive.

For CRC families, sagacity is more than a vocabulary word. It is the ability to pause, notice what matters, ask thoughtful questions, and choose a path that supports personal growth and community success.

A young reader who develops sagacity learns to recognize opportunities, navigate challenges, and lead with purpose. That kind of wisdom can strengthen classrooms, families, barbershops, and neighborhoods across Pinellas County and beyond.

Use it in a sentence: With sagacity, Marcus listened carefully, considered his choices, and helped his friends create a stronger plan for their community project.
