crucify. The word comes from "crux" meaning a cross or crossing point or intersection, and "affix" meaning attach to.

Basically the method of executing a prisoner who had been sentenced to death meant that the convict would be nailed to a wooden cross and left to slowly die, outdoors, in full view of the people of the village. I assume that death would come from blood loss, or maybe because the person would not be able to breathe right while nailed to a cross with just his arms and feet holding all his body weight.
