assassin's
Belonging to hitman
Assassin's is the possessive form of assassin, a person who kills someone, typically a prominent figure, often for political or ideological reasons or for payment.
The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with such a killer: the assassin's weapon, the assassin's motive.
The term appears prominently in the video game franchise *Assassin's Creed*, which has made this possessive form unusually common in casual usage.
