genocide (the systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of their ethnicity, religion, or nationality)
çekim: çoğul genocydy · tamlayan genocydu
köken: Apparently coined by Polish legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943 or 1944 in reference to the Armenian Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust. From the stem of Ancient Greek γένος (génos, “race, kind”) + Latin -cīda (“killing, killer”).
From Völker + Mord. Occasional use from at least 1759; in the Napoleonic era popularised as a calque of the French revolutionary term populicide (1792). The German was calqued into English as folk-murdering by 1892. Both the French and the German may have influenced the younger genocide (1944).
