All the answers seemed to be similar or somewhat flat (no depth).
Wisdom relates to the wise. The wise relates not only to having wisdom but also the knowledge of wisdom. The new book "Another Thought" by OC Tross answers this question fully.

most definitions are made up of properties and include a description (See Webster's Dictionary)
There are TWO kinds of wisdom. one is the accumulation of knowledge -the wisdom of the aged and the other is found in this quote I think:
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom.

THE REAL DEFINITION OF WISDOM IS Knowledge, to know every subject has its own meaning to explain in detail the fundamentals of today's subjects relating to science, history or geography -to be aware of the substance of knowing more than the others around you the real answers to every question placed before a panel or committee. -Ayesha Ahmed
