decisión

/deθiˈsjon/ · A2 · noun · f

decision

✂️ decisión = de (off) + cis (cut): to decide is to cut off the other options

From Latin decidere, de- (off) + caedere (to cut), the same root as scissors and incision. English decision is a direct cognate, so the meaning carries over intact. Feminine, like nearly all Spanish nouns ending in -sión: la decisión.
