Word of the Day - ingenuity

Be thoughtful, not just smart. Use words to help others, not to hinder them.

ingenuity

/ˌɪndʒɪˈnjuːɪti/
noun
mass noun
The quality of being clever, original, and inventive.

Origin
Late 16th century (also in the senses ‘nobility’ and ‘ingenuousness’): from
Latin ingenuitas ‘ingenuousness’, from ingenuus ‘inborn’. The current
meaning arose by confusion of ingenuous with ingenious.
