A savant (suh-VAHNT) is a learned person, well versed in literature or science, often with an exceptional skill in a specialized field of learning.
The term is also sometimes used to describe an autistic savant, formerly termed an idiot savant.
The word comes from the French word savant [savɑ̃], meaning scientist (literally, knowing).
