Usage Note

Sesudo means having good judgment and depth of thought — more than merely 'intelligent', it implies measured, serious wisdom. It comes from seso (brain, sense), making its literal root 'full of brain'. It is formal and slightly literary; in everyday speech sensato or juicioso are more common. The plural is regular: sesudos, sesudas.

Examples

"El juez dio una respuesta sesuda y ponderada."

The judge gave a wise and considered response.
