Percipience

Percipience

per·cip·i·ence

/pərˈsipēəns/

noun

good understanding of things; perceptiveness.

"age has not impaired his percipience"

A lovely word which I rarely seem to encounter anymore.  Don't know if that reflects a change in my reading tastes, a decline in writing quality or simply a difference between English and American writers.
