Actually, Latin has a bunch of different words that can mean "kill":

neco, necare: to kill

interficio, interficere: to make across (to the underworld)

sterno, sternere: to lay low

perago, peragere: to finish off

occido, occidere: to fell

caedo, caedere: to cut down

ruo, ruere: to ruin

rumpo, rumpere: to break

consumo, consumere: to eat up

All of these have been used to describe the act of one man killing another. (There are also a lot of nouns as well.) There are probably more as well. Basically, Latin has a lot of words for "kill," depending on context.

Answer:

But primarily, the neco, necare means kill in Latin.

However, -cide means to murder as in Deicide or homicide; derived from caedus.
