- 1Plural of sensible.
The philosopher argued that all our knowledge ultimately begins with sensibles.
For these thinkers, the sensibles grasped by the eye and ear were never wholly trustworthy.
Note
A plural that only the noun can have. The everyday adjective, as in a sensible choice or sensible shoes, never takes an -s. The noun has fallen out of ordinary use in all of its meanings: sensation, a sensitive being, and anything that can be perceived. The plural therefore belongs mainly to older writing, and context shows whether it means feelings, beings or perceptible things.
