We are having a parish mission and last night the priest ticked off the words for wisdom in Latin, Spanish and some other language......meaning to savor, taste.

Can either of you help me here?

As I recall, in Latin Wisdom can be either sapientia or consilium the former having a connotation of a person's faculty, the latter having a connotation of advice.

From Scripture:

Wis. 1:6

benignus est enim spiritus sapientiae et non liberabit maledictum a labiis suis quoniam renum illius testis est Deus et cordis eius scrutator est verus et linguae illius auditor

For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
