It would be necessary to see in what cases this neologism is justified (if it does) because apart from the Greco-Latin pastiche it turns out that there is already femicide ( "crime of a woman because of her condition" ) which is the counterpart of the term viricide ( "crime of a man because of his condition" ) , and that we note totally Latin for a matter of etymological coherence, which does not happen with 'gynecocide' (and -while we are at it- let's mention that neither with androcide, which is not justified at all). In other motivations for the crime there is already homicide ("intentional death of a person") that does not distinguish genders because the law is impartial, it should not discriminate. See gyneco- (prefix for "woman"), -cidio (suffix for "intentional death"), man ("person, human being").

Neologism proposed by Abraham Gómez, University Professor, writer and member of the Venezuelan Academy of Language, defines gynecocide: "when a woman is physically annihilated for excuses or pretexts, it cannot be considered as homicide, but gynecocide; from the Greek : Gyné , Gynaikos , Gyneco which accurately denotes : woman; plus the suffix cidius, cid, which is formed by apophony of caedere: to kill, to cut. Let us understand, in human solidarity, that when they physically liquidate a woman, they are not killing the female gender; they are killing the woman, the human being; Do not dispatch with the use of femicide or femicide death for reasons of gender. Such an abomination can never be described in any other way. It must be denounced as what was really committed: a gynecocide. "
