- jodrellblank 4y agoI find myself googling "etymology {word}" a lot recently; here inter is between like in intercontinental, and necine is death like in necrosis. And inter is apparently the origin of intel, which is topical, and suggests Intelnecine, adj: destructive to all factions within Intel, or any company with a destructive amount of in-fighting. https://www.etymonline.com/word/internecine https://www.etymonline.com/word/internecine
