Assassin

English

Etymology

Template:Root From either Template:Bor or Template:Bor, from Template:Der and the folkloric etymology Template:Der.

The mathematical sense was introduced by Template:W, playing on the notation $\mathrm{Ass}(M)$ and the fact that an associated prime is the annihilator of an element, and so is said to kill that element.
