Incisively

The word incisively is an adverb and according to Merriam-Webster means impressively direct and decisive (as in manner or presentation). This word can be found in “A jury of her peers” by Susan Glaspell. In the text it says, “ ‘No, Peters, ‘ said the county attorney incisively; ‘it’s all perfectly clear, except the reason for doing it….’” This shows that while Mrs. Hale was trying to tell the county attorney that a jury would believe that Mrs. Wright killed her own husband even if they don’t know the reason why. The county attorney in this section is trying to clear and percise that it’s obvious this was murder even though they can’t see the reason behind it. Using this word will help prove my points in writing because it’ll make me sound sophisticated.
