parricides
Killers of parents
Parricides are those who kill a parent, or the acts of killing one's parent.
The word can extend to killing other close relatives or, more loosely, to betraying something fundamental—a country, an institution, a sacred trust.
The revolutionaries were denounced as parricides for overthrowing the monarchy.
