Sagacity is the quality of being wise or having good judgment. An example of sagacity is when a person refuses to get in the car with someone who has been drinking. sagacity. pl. sagacity. The quality of being discerning, sound in judgment, and farsighted; wisdom.
Today the word may also be used to describe a long and drawn-out story that is either written or spoken (as in âmy neighbor told me the saga of his divorce againâ). Saga comes from an Old Norse word of the same spelling. It does not have any connection with the adjective sagacious (âpossessing quick intellectual perceptionsâ), which comes from the Latin sagax (âsagaciousâ).
