Third person singular present tense of excise; cuts out, removes, or censors something.
From Latin 'excidere' (to cut out), conjugated as modern English verb: 'he/she/it excises' in present tense.
One fascinating thing: 'excise' has two meanings (tax or to cut), so 'excises' can mean both 'collects taxes' and 'removes surgically'—context determines which!
