Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: -

Affine francese medio: incisif

In summary

Late Middle English (in the sense “cutting, penetrating”), borrowed from Medieval Latin incīsīvus, from incīdō (“to cut in, cut through”) + -īvus (“-ive”, adjectival suffix). Compare Middle French incisif.
