A person or instrument that excises or cuts out something, especially a surgeon who performs surgical excisions.
From Latin 'excidere' (to cut) + '-or' (one who does), meaning 'one who excises' or 'one who cuts out.'
While 'surgeon' is the common term, 'excisor' specifically emphasizes the cutting aspect—historically, surgeons were literally considered craftspeople who used knives, distinct from physicians who used medicine.
