Morphology
suicide = sui + cide
Although the word is historically analyzable as 'sui' + '-cide', the first element is not a productive English morpheme and the meaning is not recoverable for average learners.
Etymology
Suicide comes from Latin parts sui 'of oneself' and -cide 'to kill'. The -cide part is the same in words like homicide and pesticide, so suicide literally means 'killing oneself', which explains the modern meaning.
