Etymology

Unknown. Also, the meaning of quickwittedness is much rarer than sound meanings and etymologically separate; it is not possible to derive it from the sense of an overtone or veiled hint only the intelligent would grasp because this is a transferred technical sense postdating it by centuries.

Root
