A decisão

Definition


"A decisão" refers to the action or process of making a choice or coming to a conclusion, especially after consideration or judgment. It often denotes a formal or authoritative conclusion, such as the judge's ruling in a legal case.

Etymology


"A decisão" comes from the Portuguese verb 'decidir,' meaning 'to decide,' which in turn derives from the Latin 'decidere,' composed of 'de-' meaning 'off' or 'away' and 'caedere' meaning 'to cut.' So, "a decisão" literally implies 'a cutting off' of other options to reach a final choice.
