Definition[edit]
This source [1] and several others like it seem to break down the word pretty clearly as meaning decisive in a direct, straightforward sort of way, which is why I edited as "forthright and direct in judgment; decisive". The previous definition used the term 'quick' which is a bit vague and confusing.173.0.254.226 12:08, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

The etymology of 'incisive' could be expanded. Medieval Latin incisivus and Late Latin incisio from the verb incidō 'I cut into'. Somerandomuser (talk) 17:18, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
