'''INTELLECT''' (Lat. intellectus, from intelligere, to understand), the general term for the [[mind]] in reference to its capacity for knowing or understanding. It is very vaguely used in common [[language]]. A man is described as "[[intellectual]]" generally because he is occupied with theory and principles rather than with practice, often with the further implication that his theories are concerned mainly with abstract matters: he is aloof from the world, and especially is a man of training and [[culture]] who cares little for the ordinary pleasures of sense.
