Morphology

suicide = suicide (transparent) = sui + cide

This is a zero-derivation verb from the noun 'suicide'; once the noun is known, the gaming sense is a straightforward extended use.

Etymology

In gaming, the verb suicide keeps the original idea from sui 'of oneself' and -cide 'to kill', so players 'suicide' when they deliberately make their character die to restart, respawn, or escape a bad situation.
