rubout
Gangland hit job
A rubout is a killing, especially a gangland murder.
The term comes from the phrasal verb rub out, meaning to kill or eliminate: The mob ordered a rubout of the informant.
The word carries a mid-twentieth-century crime-movie flavor, suggesting organized violence rather than random killing.
