A brief or cursory view; a quick sketch or outline of something (variant of aperçu).
French 'aperçu,' from 'apercevoir' (to perceive), derived from Latin 'apercipere.' A glimpse or sudden understanding.
Aperçu is the French word that English borrowed to describe those brilliant 'aha!' moments—a flash of insight that seems simple but cuts through complexity perfectly.
