On the Qui Vive On the Qui Vive Definition on the alert or lookout, alert and vigilant, circumspect, watchful, on your guard, attentive, observant, wary, cautious, aware, heedful Example At its root, the phrase “Qui Vive?” has always been a sentry’s challenge -- basically asking the question, “Whose side are you on?” to those approaching the palace gates. In recent times its definition has evolved to mean “alert” or “on the lookout,” “vigilant” and “watchful.” In today’s post-modern vernacular, one might say “woke.” Source: https://www.quiviveglobal.com/ Antonyms slack
