Today’s “Word of the Day” is excise and it is a verb meaning “remove, delete, strike out, cancel, take out, remove, cut out (a part of something-text, audio or video)”.
Example Sentence: The controversy surrounding the amendment to the Lokayukta Act of Kerala… has raised the political temperature in the State with the Opposition accusing the Government of trying to whittle away at (reduce) the powers of the Lokpal. The Government, on the other hand, claims that through the amendment, a provision in the Act which is unconstitutional has been excised as it gave power to the Lokpal to give directions to the Governor to remove a Chief Minister or a Minister on being found guilty of corruption.
