Morphology

murderize + the + competition

The core meaning is built from the familiar noun/verb 'murder' applied metaphorically to 'competition', so a learner who knows 'murder' and 'competition' can plausibly infer a sense of decisively defeating rivals. However, 'murderize' is a creative/neologistic formation (not standard dictionary vocabulary) and uses a productive suffix in a figurative way, so the exact force and register are not fully predictable for a B1 learner without exposure.

Etymology

Murderize the competition comes from a strong image: the word murder is used like a verb to suggest 'kill' the rivals, and competition means the other teams or companies. That's why it is used to mean 'defeat completely'.
