versed
Deeply familiar with
Versed means knowledgeable or skilled through experience or study: She's well versed in contract law, He's versed in the art of negotiation.
The word almost always appears with "well" or "thoroughly" before it, and "in" after it.
Someone versed in a subject has more than passing familiarity—they've absorbed it deeply enough to apply it.
