Fratri- में fraternity (भाईचारा) देखिए और -cide यानी मारना (suicide, pesticide)। Fratricide = भाई या बहन की हत्या।

FRATRI- is the brother part you see in FRATERNITY (brotherhood), and -CIDE means killing, as in suicide and pesticide. So fratricide is the killing of one's brother or sister.

Exam note

-cide family साथ रखिए: patricide (पिता), matricide (माता), fratricide (भाई), sororicide (बहन), infanticide (शिशु), regicide (राजा), genocide (जाति), suicide (स्वयं)।

Learn the -cide family together: patricide (father), matricide (mother), fratricide (brother), sororicide (sister), infanticide (infant), regicide (king), genocide (a race), suicide (oneself).
