Sorry for any confusion! I should have been more clear in naming this list. The suffix "-cide" (killer or act of killing) is correct; we've got "genocide" instead of "genicide," for instance. It comes from the Latin caedere, which means to cut, cut down, strike, beat or kill. Decide is also derived from caedere, I think -- but not in the killing sense. And this is a list reserved for killy words. ;)

Fratricide, Regicide

I assume this list is "words with the suffix (i)cide". Decide is based off of Decision, and does not have the suffix "cide" meaning death.

decide? or is this list really called "-icide"?
