(gcide) | Cunning \Cun"ning\ (k[u^]n"n[i^]ng), a. [AS. cunnan to know, to

Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
2. Wrought with, or exhibiting, skill or ingenuity;

Syn: Cunning, Artful, Sly, Wily, Crafty.
Usage: These epithets agree in expressing an aptitude for
attaining some end by peculiar and secret means.
Cunning is usually low; as, a cunning trick. Artful is
more ingenious and inventive; as, an artful device.
Sly implies a turn for what is double or concealed;
as, sly humor; a sly evasion. Crafty denotes a talent
for dexterously deceiving; as, a crafty manager. Wily
describes a talent for the use of stratagems; as, a
wily politician. A cunning man often shows his
dexterity in simply concealing. An artful man goes
further, and exerts his ingenuity in misleading. A
crafty man mingles cunning with art, and so shapes his
actions as to lull suspicions. The young may be
cunning, but the experienced only can be crafty.
Slyness is a vulgar kind of cunning; the sly man goes
cautiously and silently to work. Wiliness is a species
of cunning or craft applicable only to cases of attack
and defense." --Crabb.
