decapitate#2
チュニジアの観光名所のビーチでテロ事件が発生しました。この事件により27名が死亡しております。被害者のほとんどは外国人でした。また，このテロ事件は，フランスとクウェートで発生したテロと同日に行われております。チュニジアでは，先日も博物館でテロ行為が行われており，状勢が悪化していることが分かります。
記事の中で気になった単語は"decapitate"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）によると「（極刑で）…を打ち首にする，の首[尾]を切り落とす」などという意味がありました。ODでは"Cut off the head of (someone)"と定義されております。分離を表す"de"とラテン語で「頭」を表す"caput"が結びつくことでこのような意味になったようです。（Ume）
Tunisia attack on Sousse beach 'kills 27'
Officials say one gunman has been shot dead and another is being pursued.
Sousse is a popular tourist destination.
Tunisia has been on high alert since March when militants killed 22 people, mainly foreign tourists, in an attack on a museum in the capital Tunis.
The interior ministry told the BBC "a terrorist attack" was ongoing. Officials say six people have been injured in the attack.

The attack comes on the same day as:
A man is decapitated and several others injured at a factory in France
A deadly attack on a Shia mosque in Kuwait
A British man on holiday told the BBC that he heard the attack on a neighbouring hotel.
From his room, he saw a man with a pistol but did not know whether this was an attacker or a member of the security forces.
The attack happened at a beach near the Hotel Imperial Marhaba, officials said.
