the art of escaping a problem through a door nobody knew existed.
means The cleverness and inventiveness to solve problems in original, resourceful ways.
from From Latin 'ingenuitas,' which originally meant the quality of being freeborn, frank, and honorable — rooted in 'ingenuus,' 'native, freeborn,' literally 'inborn' (from 'in-' plus 'gignere,' to beget). Curiously, the modern 'cleverness' sense drifted in by confusion with the unrelated 'ingenious' (from Latin 'ingenium,' natural talent or wit). So the word that once meant noble honesty quietly absorbed the meaning of a near-twin it was never related to — a clever escape through a door nobody guarded.
