intellectual's
Of a scholar
Intellectual's is the possessive form of intellectual—a person engaged in or valuing serious thinking and learning.
The possessive marks ownership or association: an intellectual's library, the intellectual's distrust of simple answers.
It can also be a contraction of "intellectual is" or "intellectual has" in casual speech.
