A '''genius''' (plural genii or geniuses,[1] adjective ingenious) is a [[person]], a [[body]] of [[work]], or a singular achievement of surpassing excellence. More than just [[originality]], [[creativity]], or [[intelligence]], genius is associated with achievement of [[insight]] which has [[transformational]] [[power]]. A work of genius fundamentally alters the [[expectations]] of its [[audience]]. Genius may be generalized, or be particular to a discrete field such as sports, statesmanship, [[science]], or [[The Arts|art]]. In Ancient [[Rome]], the genius was the guiding or "tutelary" [[spirit]] of a person, or even of an entire gens, the plural of which was 'genii'[9].
