der Mord, -e
murder
Absichtliches Nehmen des Lebens eines Menschen.
The German word "Mord" is a noun that means "murder". It refers to the unlawful killing of another person with intent. The word "Mord" comes from Old High German and has similar roots in other Germanic languages.
Similar words in German include "Tötung" (killing) and "Mordfall" (murder case). The difference between "Mord" and "Tötung" is that "Mord" specifically implies a deliberate and malicious intention behind the act, often with legal ramifications; whereas "Tötung" is a broader term that can include accidental killings and does not inherently carry a legal distinction of intent.
