It derived from Italian and Medieval Latin, 'assassinare' of reputations and characters. In earlier history, the Assassins were an order of Muslim fanatics, active in Persia and Syria, whose object was to assassinate Crusaders. Used between 1190 and 1272. The 13th Century word with Arabic connections is Hashishiyyin "users of hashish"
If you mean assassination, it derives from assassin. Assassins were members of a Muslim secret sect, operating in Persia and Syria between the years 1090 and 1256. They murdered their victims, usually Crusaders. The word assassin is based on the Arabic 'hashishiyyin' meaning hashish users
