Definition
To put an animal or person to death in a humane way to relieve suffering; to euthanize.
Etymology
From euthanasia plus the verb-forming suffix -ize, meaning 'to cause to become' or 'to perform the action of.' The word was created in the 19th century as medical vocabulary expanded.
Kelly Says
Veterinarians use this term daily, but its Greek roots—'to give a good death'—reflect an ancient philosophical ideal that only became medical practice in the modern era when we actually had the drugs to do it painlessly.
