- canny (adj.) 1630s, "knowing wise," Scottish and northern English formation from can (v.1) in its sense of "know how to," + -y (2). A doublet of cunning that flowed into distinct senses. "Knowing," hence, from 18c., "careful, skillful, clever," also "frugal, thrifty," and, from early 19c. (perhaps from Scott's novels) "cautious, wary, shrewd." Often used superciliously of Scots by their southern neighbors (and their American cousins).
