Tips to Remember:
• Break the word into two parts: “けつ” (ketsu) sounds like “cut” and “だん” (dan) sounds like “done”—imagine making a decision as “cutting off” other options to be done with indecision.
• Recall that "決断" is composed of two kanji: 決 (ketsu, meaning “to decide”) and 断 (dan, meaning “to sever or cut off”), reinforcing the idea of decisively cutting off alternatives.

Explanations:
• 決断 (けつだん, ketsudan) refers to making a firm decision, particularly under pressure or in complex situations.
• The kanji combination suggests a resolute action—cutting off all other possibilities to commit to a choice.
