"Educated insolence,” according to Aristotle (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wit

'educated insolence according to aristotle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for wit that I've seen before include "Drollery" , "Drollness, humour" , "Cleverness with words and ideas" , "card" , "Keen intelligence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
