homicide. It derives from the roots "hom" - "man / human" and "cide" - "kill". The same root "cide" is found in the word "suicide", meaning, obviously, to kill oneself. Homicide can also be broken down into several other specific types of murder. Such as matricide -- killing one's mother. Patricide -- killing one's father. And fratricide -- killing one's brother.
