断ち切るように言葉がきっぱりして適切なこと


> 断ち切るように言葉がきっぱりして適切なこと。

Does this mean word like '断ち切る' is relevant to きっぱりして?

I know that 断ち切る modifies きっぱりする but I don't get the meaning of this sentence.




Isn't this a word definition in some dictionary?

断ち切るように and きっぱり both mean _clearly_ , _unambiguously_ , _decisively_ , etc.
In English you can say _clear-cut_ , too.

I don't think 断ち切るように modifies きっぱりする. This 断ち切るように adverbially modifies
言葉がきっぱりして適切な as a whole.

> 断ち切るように言葉がきっぱりして適切なこと  
>  (lit.) _for words to be clear and adequate as if it were sharply cut._  
>  _using words clearly and adequately._
