Genocide is made up of the Latin word gens or gentis, meaning birth, stock, race, and the Latin word cidium (French: "cide"), meaning killing. Together it means literally "Race Killing."

What are facts about genocide?

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action.
