Etiology/etymology of the word “Suicide”.

Latin translation:

(Ancient)

“sui” (of oneself) “caedere” (kill).

(modern)

 “suicidium” or “conscivit” .

My thoughts upon these words, well the obvious “thing” which comes to mind is the cide or SIDE in sui, an anagram of die or dies. This combined with the “Aft” in the greek translation, presumably adapted as a nautical term which denotes either movement towards the STERN or TAIL of a sHIP or AIRcrAFT.

We might say the human body has six sides in three dimensions, that is the top, bottom left and right front and back, with the additional of the inside and outside that makes eight.

Amongst translations for the top as relating to the top of the head(in latin) we find culmen and caput, caput having the alternate meanings of capital, chapter, summit, judgement, culmen, many english words originate from this word caput, amongst those are capital, captain and scapula, captive etc.

Bottom translates the same from english to latin but can be translated into french as “pied” to mean foot or base.

Inside: one translation in “Penitus”which means utterly, deeply , entirely, thoroughly, inside. The “Tu” in peniTUs is of note as this is the French Informal “you”.

Outside: Latin is “extra”, french is deshore, which is of note as latin for out is “de” and french for shore (an anagram in “deshore”) is “rivage”, interesting as it contains the roman numerals IV (four/ORE/deshore) and the word rage is revealed with the extraction of these letters of which I assign the value of roman numerals. Another point of interest concerning numerals: the numerals VI, standing for six, the latin word for six is actually SEX. ConSIDEr the word cIVIlisation. The “IVy league college… An anagram? Pronounce ivy phonetically you have IVE, vie is french life, a french homophone is VI which means rage.

Left in latin is “sinister”, the french is “gauche” pronounced ; gO sh.  AU is the chemical symbol for Gold.

Right in latin is “dexter” , the french being droite, pronounced dwat. The dro, I believe relates to other french words such as “adore” (love) and “dorage” (gilding/plating with gold).

If the latin suicidium were to be pronounced and spelt phONEticALLy then we would spell it su/ewisIdEum, and so we would pronounce (prOnowns) a W or double you which is not in the written word, the latin word for “God” (deus) can be made using this extra E pronounced at the “ium” of suicidium.

The latin  “conscivit”, first thing that comes to mind is the C (or homophones: sea/see) and this “ON”, then this “vici”anagram in conscivit (latin for “to conquer or “to deFEAT”).

Whats left to explain is the us in SUicide, the We, the is, the I or the eye, or even the ID(as an abbreviation of identity?), and of course the anagram DIE, found at the end of the english word.
