I think I described it as "a word that means how you approach a sensitive subject"

I admit my description was shit but at the time I couldn't remember the exact definition of tact either lmao. I just remembered it was used to describe how you should approach sensitive subjects.

In any case I remember trying to google it as well but nothing coming up. My friends did not think of the word. I mean it's definitely not a word you would use often so I don't blame them.

I remember I asked chatgpt and chatgpt nailed it.
