Sinucid is built on the same base as the verb a se sinucide, "to kill oneself," which joins sine ("self") with ucide ("to kill"). Ucide continues Latin occidere, "to kill, cut down," which is itself built on caedere, "to cut, strike, kill." Many scholars trace caedere to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to strike, hew." The final -id echoes other Latin-derived Romanian adjectives such as rapid and solid.
