Definition
Capable of killing amoebas; describing substances or treatments that destroy amoebic organisms.
Etymology
From ameba (Greek amoibē 'change') + -cidal (from Latin -cida, meaning 'killer'). The -cidal suffix appears in words like insecticide and homicide, all meaning something that kills.
Kelly Says
The -cidal suffix is one of those word-building superpowers—once you know it, you can guess that bactericidal kills bacteria and fungicidal kills fungi, even if you've never heard those words before.
