Incisive में incision (surgeon का cut) की धार है; खाना काटने वाले आगे के दाँत भी incisors कहलाते हैं। Incisive दिमाग़ सीधे ज़रूरी बात तक काटकर पहुँचता है। Vague इसका उल्टा है।

INCISIVE has the sharp edge of an INCISION (a surgeon's cut); even your front teeth that cut food are called incisors. An incisive mind cuts straight to the important point. Vague is its opposite.
