Guillotinement

/ɡɪˌlɑtɪnˈmɑnt/ noun

Definition

The act or process of executing someone by guillotine; the practice of using the guillotine for execution.

Etymology

From guillotine + -ment French suffix (forming abstract nouns of action or result). This term directly translates the French concept of the practice of guillotine execution into English.

Kelly Says

The existence of this formal noun shows how the French Revolution created entirely new vocabulary for industrialized killing—they needed words to discuss the scale and frequency of executions happening.
