Acumen में 'accurate man' सुनिए, और ACU को acute (नुकीला कोण) से जोड़िए। जो तेज़ और सही फ़ैसले ले, उसके पास acumen है — पैनी सूझबूझ।

Hear 'accurate man' in ACUMEN, and link ACU to acute, a sharp angle. A sharp, accurate mind that takes the right decision quickly has acumen, as in 'business acumen'.
