a noun or adjective indicating anything a high level of knowledge in some field (i.e. fashion); since The Pirates of the Caribbean came out, it has often been equated with "understand"
Regarding the etymology of the word, it is most likely another anglified French word, from the original "savoir," which means "to know." Like parley (also used in "Pirates"), which means "to speak," it was probably absorbed into the English vocabulary back when French was more of a global language.

A very unique, attractive person of the female gender. She keeps her own style, she's much more pretty than she admits to being. She's cute, funny, smart as hell and always has a way of making you feel inspired. She's very fun in a way that no other girl is. She doesn't judge, she only tries to help you when you're down. She works best with guys, as she seems to understand them very well. She has a unique set of abilities. She can move best on any kind of wheels; skates, skateboard, you name it. She works well with people who understand her, she can even pull you from a burning building if you need her to. She's a fighter even though she has a mostly mild, hippie outlook on life. She's a hard worker and will put in the time and effort no matter rain or shine. She's always there for you, whether you're in a relationship or just friends..but don't expect her to allow you to push her around or lie to her or be someone you're not. Be honest with her and treat her how you want her to treat you, just be yourself and Savvi will be the best girl you ever meet.
God, I wish my girlfriend was more like Savvi.
Damn..She's a lover, a fighter, and can work great with guys. My dream girl is a Savvi
