Definition
The superlative form of clever; the most intelligent, smart, or quick-thinking in a group.
Etymology
From 'clever' of uncertain origin, possibly from Middle English or Flemish influence. Some scholars suggest it may be related to 'cleave' (to split), implying the ability to cut through problems with sharp thinking.
Kelly Says
The word 'clever' is actually pretty mysterious—even language experts aren't totally sure where it came from, which makes it a clever word to not know the origin of! It popped up in English around the 1600s and quickly became popular in everyday speech.
