What is your problem torquinian?
The clue definition is intuition.
A section of an orchestra is the percussion.

and so that gives definition=APERCU=intuition
A + half or percu ssion =APERCU

That is not an English word in my big Oxford dictionary. And even if they put the accent on it "intuition" is a poor translation of APERCU.
