I think that wisdom has knowledge as a component, as “knowledge” of the sort that is THE TRUTH (i.e. universal, necessary and certain) gives the wisdom component something real to work with.

I was about to suggest that. I would also add that an important part of wisdom is experience. A person can only be truly wise if they have seen the only components of wisdom played out in the real world before their eyes and have experienced it firsthand.

Agreed. But then we need to ask, 'what kind of experience?' To which I respond: Not experiences of happiness but of suffering, quite often suffering in silence.
