Meaning of "homicidio" in the Spanish dictionary

Homicide is the result of an act or omission by which one person is deprived of life, whether intentionally or willfully. The term proceeds etymologically from the Latin homicidĭum, a compound of homo, "human being," and caedere, "to kill," so that it literally means "to kill a human being." It is a reprehensible, ie typical, unlawful and generally guilty conduct, which is to attempt against the legal good of the life of a physical person. El homicidio es el resultado de una acción u omisión mediante el cual se priva de la vida a otra persona ya sea dolosa o culposamente. El término procede etimológicamente del latín homicidĭum, un compuesto de homo, "ser humano", y caedere, "matar", de modo que literalmente significa "matar a un ser humano". Es una conducta reprochable, es decir típica, antijurídica y por regla general culpable, que consiste en atentar contra el bien jurídico de la vida de una persona física.
