Word origin

The term 'excise' originates from the Latin 'excidere', which means to cut out or cut off, composed of 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'caedere' meaning 'to cut'. In medical terminology, excision gained prominence in the 19th century as surgical techniques advanced, allowing for more precise removal of tissues and organs. The concept of excision became vital in surgical practice, particularly in the fields of oncology and pathology. As surgery evolved, excised came to denote not only the act of removal but also the meticulous nature of surgical procedures aimed at achieving the best possible patient outcomes.
