The art of choosing fast and being wrong less than you fear.
means Settling a matter quickly and firmly, or having the power to determine an outcome.
from From Latin 'decidere,' meaning 'to cut off' — built from 'de-' (off) plus 'caedere' (to cut). To decide was literally to cut away the other options, leaving one clean edge. The same 'caedere' lurks in 'scissors,' 'incision,' and 'homicide.' 'Decisive' carries that blade-sharp finality: the cut is made, the alternatives lie severed on the floor.
