Question

What is the difference between a cut and an incision?

Answer 1

By definition,

An incision is (according to Miriam-Webster’s dictionary): “a wound made especially in surgery by incising the body”

A cut is (also according to Miriam-Webster’s dictionary): “to penetrate with or as if with an edged instrument”

An incision *is* surgical, while a cut *can* be surgical but also *can* be not surgical.

So the difference between an incision and a cut would be that an incision is more professional and a cut is less professional.

Answer 2

Answer:

a cut is a wound while an incision is a surgical cut
