Definition
A chemical substance used to kill algae, commonly found in pool treatments and water management products.
Etymology
Compound word from 'algae' + '-cide' (from Latin 'caedere' meaning 'to kill'). The suffix -cide is used in many words like 'pesticide' and 'homicide.'
Kelly Says
The -cide suffix literally means 'killer'—so algaecide, pesticide, homicide all share the same Latin root for killing, creating a whole family of words that reveal what humans want to eliminate!
