Etymology
From Latin 'intelligentia' (understanding), from 'intelligere' (to understand), which breaks down to 'inter-' (between) and 'legere' (to choose).
Memory Tips
Think of 'inter-lego' as the ability to 'choose between' things, which requires intelligence. Also, remember it refers to information, like in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
