HOMICIDE
Hom"i*cide, n. Etym: [F., fr. L. homicidium, fr. homicida a man
slayer; homo man + caedere to cut, kill. See Homage, and cf. Concise,
Shed, v. t.]
1. The killing of one human being by another.
Note: Homicide is of three kinds: justifiable, as when the killing is
performed in the exercise of a right or performance of a duty;
excusable, as when done, although not as duty or right, yet without
culpable or criminal intent; and felonious, or involving what the law
terms malice; the latter may be either manslaughter or murder.
Bouvier.
2. One who kills another; a manslayer. Chaucer. Shak.
