    [Originally the p. p. of shrew, v.t.]

    rough; unfair; shrewish. [Obs.] --Chaucer.

    3. Able or clever in practical affairs; sharp in business;
    astute; sharp-witted; sagacious; keen; as, a shrewd
    observer; a shrewd design; a shrewd reply.

    --Secker.

    Syn: Keen; critical; subtle; artful; astute; sagacious;
    discerning; acute; penetrating.

    Usage: {Shrewd}, {Sagacious}. One who is shrewd is keen to
    detect errors, to penetrate disguises, to foresee and
    guard against the selfishness of others. Shrewd is a
    word of less dignity than sagacious, which implies a
    comprehensive as well as penetrating mind, whereas
    shrewd does not.
