Meanings
comparative more sapiently · superlative most sapiently
- In a sapient manner.
Sunday, as the Midland timetable sapiently observed, was a dies non in Scotland, yet the N.B.R. [North British Railway], though a Scots company, had a Sunday train; true, it did not work on Scottish soil, as it only ran over the 22 miles of Cumbrian track that connected Carlisle and Silloth.
1953 August, Basil M. Bazley, “Carlisle in 1905”, in Railway Magazine, page 519
