What terms means to wipe out an entire group of people?

There can be several terms. A massacre refers to the killing of a large number of people in one place, usually by a force far superior to the one killed. Genocide refers to the hunting and killing of people based on specific criteria, which can take place over longer amounts of time. Massacres usually happen in more specified areas in shorter lengths of time, while genocide can occur over decades. Massacre's also tend to be indiscriminate, with everyone present at the time killed, while genocide is by definition more selective.
