genericiden.

Brit.

/dʒᵻˈnɛrᵻsʌɪd/, U.S.

/dʒəˈnɛrəˌsaɪd/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: generic adj., -icide comb. form¹.

Etymology: < gener- (in generic adj.) + -icide comb. form¹.The formation is unusual, as suffixation in -icide comb. form¹ would normally be expected to refer to the destruction, rather than the acquisition, of what is denoted by the first element. In this instance it is probably the brand name that is conceived as being destroyed or impaired by the process of becoming generic, although the motivation may simply be the generally negative connotations of formations in -icide comb. form¹.

Law.

The process by which a brand name loses its distinctive identity as a result of being used to refer to any product or service of its kind.Trademark registration can be revoked by law if a brand is judged to have lost its distinctive identity.
