From the English, genocide
The term "genocide" was coined in English, by Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959), a Polish-Jewish legal scholar, in 1943, firstly from the Latin "gens, gentis," meaning "tribe, clan, or race," or the Greek root génos (γένος) (family, tribe or race - gene); secondly from Latin -cide (occido — to massacre, kill).
