Etymology
Ucigaș is built on the verb a ucide, to kill, which comes from Latin occidere (ob- plus caedere, to strike down or cut). The agentive suffix -aș, attached to the verb's stem ucig- (the stem seen in the gerund ucigând), turns the verb into a noun for the person who performs the action. The same stem gives ucigător, a close synonym.
