Well, considering how the construction of ___cide in English puts the
person/thing being killed in the front (homocide = killing of a human,
matricide = killing one's mother, fratricide = killing one's brother or,
more commonly, one's countryman), it's not a very good name, as you're
killing the hops. Which wouldn't make for a very good IPA.
