adroit
Significado: Clever and skilful in using one's hands or mind, particularly in handling difficult or delicate situations.
Adroit carries a stronger sense of cleverness and resourcefulness than simply being skilled. It often implies the ability to navigate complexity with intelligence and finesse, and is particularly common in political and diplomatic contexts. 'Politically adroit' and 'adroit handling' are standard collocations in broadsheet journalism.
