then there's
in·cise (n-sz)
tr.v. in·cised, in·cis·ing, in·cis·es
1. To cut into, as with a sharp instrument: incised the tablet with chisels; a plateau that had been deeply incised by streams.
2.
a. To engrave (designs or writing, for example) into a surface; carve.
b. To engrave designs, writing, or other marks into.



[French inciser, from Old French enciser, from Vulgar Latin *incsre, frequentative of Latin incdere, incs- : in-, in; see in-2 + caedere, to cut; see ka-id- in Indo-European roots.]

It does have a meaning that goes beyond incise. It's to cut and remove, not simply to cut into. Making an incision, or having an incisive wit don't necessarily require the remove of anything.

You have to make an incision before you can incide an infected appendix.

Once up for treatment, in '07, but excised for reasons known only to the Lords of the Agora.
