记忆方法
将“genocide”拆分为两部分来记忆：首先，“gen”与“gene”相关，意味着“基因”，暗示大规模的消除会像清除基因一样彻底；其次，“cide”是拉丁语中意为“杀死”的词根。组合起来，“genocide”可以形象地记忆为“大规模的基因消灭”，即大规模的种族灭绝。

英语词源
- genocide

genocide: see general
- genocide (n.)
- 1944, apparently coined by Polish-born U.S. jurist Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959) in his work "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" [p.19], in reference to Nazi extermination of Jews, literally "killing a tribe," from Greek genos "race, kind" (see genus) + -cide. The proper formation would be *genticide.
Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aimed at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. [Lemkin]
Earlier in a similar sense was populicide (1799), from French populicide, by 1792, a word from the Revolution. This was taken into German, as in Völkermeuchelnden "genocidal" (Heine), which was Englished 1893 as folk-murdering. Ethnocide is attested from 1974 in English (1970 in French).
