The words "sentience", "sapience" and "consciousness" are used in similar ways in science fiction. The word "sapience" is derived from the Latin "sapientia", meaning "wisdom". The first race to create wathans were adept tool users, but lacked individual sapience. Yavanna also created the Ents, who were given sapience by Eru.
