..and yours, rossim. I'm not saying that Caesarian as applied to Caesars is wrong; it's that the C-Section is always (pace[/] jazzy's undecided link) always spelled CAESAREAN.

I seem to have failed to turn italics off - better do it now! OK?

Trust Chambers then ;)
The clue says "an incisive way" and Caesarean or Caesarian is stated in Chambers as "relating to a birth" by Caesarean section

ChrisE, Dictionary.com refers to 'CaesarIan' as 'pertaining to
Caesar', and so does an old bilingual encyclopédia.
On the other hand, in French the two meaning have the same
spelling (Césarienne), be it the epoch or the operation.

Anne Bradford has "Caesarian" under "section", but she does not have "Caesarean".
Clue looks fine to me.
