MURDERS Meaning and
Definition
-
Murder is a highly severe and reprehensible crime that involves the unlawful and intentional killing of another human being, typically with malice aforethought. It is an act that is universally condemned by societies, as it violates the fundamental right to life and disrupts the social order. This act of violence is often accompanied by various aggravating factors, such as premeditation, deliberate planning, or the use of lethal weapons, which further amplify the severity of the offense.
Murder can be categorized into different degrees or classifications, depending on the jurisdiction and legal system. First-degree murder usually refers to killings that are intentional, deliberate, and premeditated, with malice aforethought. Second-degree murder involves killings that are intentional but lacking premeditation or prior planning. Manslaughter is another classification related to murder but typically implies a lesser degree of culpability, such as when a killing occurs in the heat of passion, during a sudden fight, or due to reckless behavior.
The investigation and prosecution of murders involve various methods, including forensic analysis, eyewitness testimonies, and motives analysis, with the purpose of gathering evidence to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If found guilty, the punishment for murder can vary but generally includes imprisonment for a substantial period of time, life imprisonment, or even the death penalty in some jurisdictions.
The term "murders" can also refer to the plural form of murder, indicating multiple instances of unlawful killings.

Etymology of MURDERS
The word "murders" can be traced back to the Middle English word "murdre", which evolved from the Old English word "morþor". The Old English term "morþor" originally meant "act of killing", but it later came to specifically refer to the killing of a human being with malice aforethought, i.e., an intentional and premeditated act of homicide. The word "murder" in its various forms has been in use in English since the 14th century and has deep roots in Germanic languages, connecting to similar terms in other Germanic languages such as German "Mord" and Dutch "moord". The ultimate origin of the word can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*mer-", meaning "to die", which gives us the related Latin word "mors" and the Greek word "mortē" as well.
