This significant word came up earlier this year in 'Get the Edge' - April 2012 as the noun, 'discernment'.
When a person 'discerns' something they are using acute skills and abilities in observation, critical thinking, judgment and decision-making. Thus, the entire person is fully engaged in the process of taking action, determining the next step, making an informed choice.
It arose in the 14 Century, from Old French, discerner, which found its roots in the Latin discernere meaning 'to divide'.
