    In this context, "wit(s)" means:

    -- intelligence
    -- mental or intellectual power
    -- quick understanding


    "At (one's) wits' (or wit's) end" means:


    -- in a state of confusion or despair
    -- at the limit of one's ideas or mental resources
    -- unsure about what to do or say


    I hope this helps. Take care & keep in touch.... :-)
