Bo now:
We haven't yet got MOQ-based dictionaries, so in that direct
sense you will never find it, but my "Oxford Advanced" says:
"The power of mind to reason contrasted with feeling and
instinct."
"Power of mind" we may omit, what's not p.o.m. in SOM?
Reason is objectivity itself and feeling (emotions) the very
embodiment of subjectivity ( instinct even lower down, biology
IMO) thus intellect is the power of distinguishing between what's
objective and what's subjective.
I don't deny that other dictionaries defines it differently, but
there's always an element of something above mere knowing
your way around town or understanding the workings of things.

Speak about clutching straws.
