I'm working on the lyrics to one of my songs and I need to find the latin name (with a -cide suffix) for killing someone who is different or strange.

I think I prefer one that's generally more about killing those who are different, than those who are strange or foreign, but thanks.

I thought "difference" was latin? People are going to think that this is a Heterophobic song!

Found an English-Latin dictionary, I've decieded to use Diversicide, the killing of something/one who is different.

Do you hate everyone equally, or everyone as a group?

You know what I hate the most about this species? Unfriendly competition.
