Wisdom
Intelligence, Understanding
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
智 means wisdom or intelligence, especially the kind that comes from good judgment and clear thinking. Rather than mere knowledge, it refers to a deeper understanding of what you know and how to apply it. On its own, it has a somewhat classical or literary feel, so you'll mostly encounter it in more formal or traditional writing.
This has the same reading as the kanji you learned, meaning you know the reading!
智を開く
to become wiser, to develop understanding
智を授ける
to grant wisdom
智を宿す
to harbor wisdom
智を蓄える
to accumulate wisdom

Seeing the child like that, I felt as if I'd gained a deeper understanding.
真の智は静かな心から生まれる。
True wisdom arises from a quiet mind.
彼の言葉には、若さにはない智があった。
His words carried a wisdom not found in youth.
