Today's word is noetic, spelled N-O-E-T-I-C.
Noetic is an adjective that means of, relating to, or based on the intellect. Here is the word used in a sentence by John J. Conley from America: The National Catholic Review.
"But the new emphasis on curiosity as a noetic virtue adds a note of transcendence to the portrait of the ideal thinker."
The word noetic derives from the Greek adjective noētikos, meaning "intellectual," from the verb noein meaning "to think" and ultimately from the noun nous, meaning "mind." Nous also gave English the word paranoia by joining with a prefix meaning "faulty" or "abnormal." Noetic is related to noesis, a rare noun that turns up in the field of philosophy and refers to the action of perceiving or thinking. The most notable use of noetic might be in the name of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a research organization based in California that is devoted to studies of consciousness and the mind.
