Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From suī (genitive reflexive pronoun) + -cīdium (“act of killing or murder”). Its use in modern Romance languages and New Latin is attested later than, and perhaps ultimately from, English suicide.[1] Suicida (“self-killer”), from suī + -cīda (“killer”), is attested in Walter of Saint Victor's Contra quatuor labyrinthos Franciae (c. 1177), but both suicidium and suicida were otherwise unfound throughout the Middle Ages.[2]
Noun[edit]
suīcīdium n (genitive suīcīdiī); second declension
