received wisdom
consenso, senso comum


Explanation:
"received wisdom" é uma expressão idiomática.

received - widely accepted as true or worthy; "a received moral idea"; "Received political wisdom says not; surveys show otherwise"

"Received wisdom simply means that it is the "wisdom" that everyone has come to accept. In other words, it is the belief or set standard that people have come to believe is true. ...received wisdom may not always be wise and it may not always be the truth, even if the general masses believe it to be.

"It means the general opinion of the experts. That does not mean it is right!"

"Received means "accepted as true or worthy", as in received wisdom."

neutral  Marcelo Lino: Um dos significados de "to receive" é "aceitar", mas como encaixar "consenso" no contexto do processo decisório?

experiência (adquirida)


Explanation:
Sug.

Uma pessoa sábia é, entre outras coisas, uma que adquiriu experiência.
