Usage notes
Genocide was coined to mean, and is generally used in law to mean, the destruction of an ethnic group as such (as a group). The is the case whether it is done by killing of all members of the group or other means, such as dispersing the group. In common usage, genocide is often used to mean “systematic mass killing”, whether or not the purpose is the destruction of a group or something else, such as terrorizing the group or killing a population without regard to group membership, more specifically known as democide.
