Two very different meanings. As a verb (said like EX-size), it means to cut something out completely and remove it — a doctor can excise a tumor, or an editor can excise a boring paragraph from a book. As a noun (said like EX-sighs), an excise, or excise tax, is a tax a government charges on certain goods made or sold inside the country, like alcohol, tobacco, or fuel.
