The suffix “-cide” comes from Latin “caedere”, meaning “to kill”.

So when you see a word ending in -cide, it means killing of a specific thing.

Here are the common ones:

Suicide — killing oneself

Homicide — killing a person (homo = human)

Genocide — killing a group/ethnicity/nation

Pesticide — killing pests

Insecticide — killing insects

Herbicide — killing plants/weeds

Patricide — killing one’s father

Matricide — killing one’s mother

Infanticide — killing an infant

Regicide — killing a king or monarch


If you want, I can explain any specific “-cide” word.
