Savvy means having practical knowledge and good judgment about something, especially in a way that helps you succeed — a business-savvy person understands how to make good business decisions, and a tech-savvy person is comfortable with computers and phones. As a noun, 'savvy' is that same practical know-how — 'she has a lot of political savvy.' It has a friendly, informal feeling, more like everyday conversation than formal writing.
From the word’s history
Alteration of pidgin and creole save, sabi 'to know', from Portuguese sabe '(he) knows', from Latin sapere.
來自洋涇濱英語 sabi「知道」,源自葡萄牙文 sabe「他知道」。
組成這個字的來源不太確定,有人認為可能和西班牙文或葡萄牙文中表示「知道」的字有關,但這一點並不完全肯定。
