What different -cides are there? By -cide I mean homocide or suicide. I know -cide means murder and I can think a few others (like genocide and regicide) but there surely has to be more.
herbicide, pesticide
patricide, matricide (killing father, mother respectively). I’m anything you can kill, you can come up with a -cide for.
insecticide
Homicide surely, not homocide (dread to think what that means!) Lessee…vermicide (worms), fungicide, is uxoricide a word or am I hallucinating? deicide, tyrannicide (maybe hallucinating again on that one), patricide and fratricide.
If Gabby Hayes had accompanied Oscar Wilde on his tour of the western U.S., would he have been referred to as a homocidekick?
