Answer:
The answer is - the killing of a group of people based on race, religion, or ethnicity.
Explanation:
To start with, the term Genocide was coined by Jewish-Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin who brought together two words. They are are "genos" (tribe or race) with "cide" (to kill).
The term has many definitions. However the United Nations UN comprehensively defines Genocide as any intent geared towards the destruction of a religious, racial or ethnic group.
The word destruction used in the definition can take forms such as killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm or forcibly initiating measures that puts a group of people at bitter and sorrowful disadvantage.
