'''Matricide''' is the act of one deliberately murdering [[murder]]ing one's own [[mother]]. The etymology of the word is Latin, with ''mater'' meaning "mother", and the suffix -cide originating from ''caedere'' meaning "to kill".<ref>http://www.dictionary.com/browse/-cide</ref>  [[White males ]] [[male]]s are overwhelmingly likely to commit matricide, and the motive is usually physical and/or emotional abuse.<ref>http://www.practicalhomicide.com/Research/parricide.htm</ref> Committing matricide simultaneously breaks two of the [[Ten Commandments]]- disrespecting one's mother, and murder. [[Salvation ]] from matricide is possible with sincere [[penance ]] to [[God ]] for these sins[[sin]]s, though such penance is very unlikely. ==Etymology==The word is [[Latin]], with ''mater'' meaning "mother", and the suffix -cide originating from ''caedere'' meaning "to kill".<ref>http://www.dictionary.com/browse/-cide</ref>
