Question

carnage Countries around the world appealed to all sides of the conflict to stop the carnage of the war in Bosnia. ˈkɑrnɪʤ

Accepted Answer

Great destruction of life (as in a battle); slaughter. This word was taken over straight from French (a Latin-based language), and has mostly referred to large-scale killing in wartime. But carnage needn't refer only to slaughter on the battlefield. With tens of thousands of people dying each year in automobile accidents, it's appropriate to speak of carnage on the nation's highways. And those concerned about the effects of the violence we see constantly on TV and movie screens may refer to that as carnage as well
