the brain's best guess about reality, served confidently as truth
means The process of becoming aware of and interpreting something through the senses, or the way you understand or regard it.
from From Latin 'perceptio,' meaning 'a gathering, a taking in,' built from 'percipere' — 'per-' (thoroughly) plus 'capere' (to seize, to grasp). So at root, to perceive is to thoroughly seize a thing with the mind. It reached English through Old French in the late medieval period, and the same 'capere' that grasps here also lurks in 'capture,' 'capable,' and 'receive.'
