A herbicide is a substance used to kill plants you do not want — weeds in a rice field, grass in the cracks of a path, plants that steal water from a crop. Farmers spray it; some keep a bottle for the driveway.

The second half, -cide,後半段-cide means意思是「killer殺手」, the same idea as in pesticide跟pesticide(殺蟲劑)裡的意思一樣。It is a practical word這是個實用的字, from farming, news, and science class來自農業、新聞和自然課, not from cooking而不是來自烹飪。
Though actually the tidy word hides a range: some herbicides kill almost every green thing they touch; others are made to kill only certain kinds of plants and leave the crop standing. People also stretch it, fairly, to mean “anything used to kill plants,” even a strong salt water or vinegar mix at home.
