Origin of the word sensibly

The word "sensibly" originates from the Middle English word "sensibli," which itself comes from the Old French "sensiblement." This word traces back to the Latin "sensibilis," meaning "perceptible" or "capable of feeling." The core concept of "sensibly" revolves around the idea of being aware of one's surroundings and making decisions based on reason and practicality, much like the concept of being "sensitive" to one's environment. Over time, "sensibly" evolved to encompass the meaning of acting in a reasonable and judicious manner.
