Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Geno- में generation, genetic वाला 'जाति, वंश' भाव देखिए और -cide यानी मारना। Genocide = पूरे समुदाय या जाति का सुनियोजित संहार।

GENO- is the 'race, kind' part you see in GENERATION and GENETIC, and -CIDE means killing. So genocide is the deliberate killing of a whole group of people.

Exam note

-cide family का बार-बार पूछा जाने वाला शब्द। Homicide (मनुष्य), regicide (राजा), patricide (पिता), suicide (स्वयं) से अलग रखिए।

A frequently asked -cide word. Keep it apart from homicide (killing a person), regicide (king), patricide (father) and suicide (oneself).
