incipient means the one who doesn't know, the opposite of the sapient.
It also means one who is unreasonable and reckless.
The word insipiente, in its etymology, comes from the Latin "sapere", which originates the words to know and taste. Added the prefix of negation IN, incipient corresponds to the non-existence of knowledge. As in the following example:
"It is necessary to go beyond the incipient stage and then start walking along the path of wisdom."
The word insipiency has the same origin, and means the quality of the insipient, that is, it is the characteristic of the one who does not know.
Insipient is classified as a two-gender adjective, as it is the same term for male or female.
Incipient or Incipient?
The two words, incipient and incipient exist, but they have different meanings.
While insipient speaks of a person with little wisdom, foolish. Incipient is the beginner, who is starting something, as in "incipient pregnancy", which means early pregnancy.
Sometimes the spelling and meaning of the two words can be confused, as a student at the beginning of the course, for example, can be both incipient and incipient at the same time.
But one must remember the essential difference in meaning: with S it is associated with lack of knowledge and with C the beginning.
