reacción en cadena

Even if it's not a locution, you may need to clear up a little bit. It is said that there is a 'chain reaction' when a fact has a consequence, which in turn creates another independent of the original action, and that each can continue to generate another consequential reaction. The image is from a chain of events, where the latter can be a long way from the first. See domino effect .

viricidio
  41

It is used as a "husband's murder", although its scope is wider and includes the murder of any male by his male status.

It comes from the Latin vir , i ( "husband, male, hero" ) the suffix -cidio .

It is the name given in the Middle Ages an armed and wandering rider who was guided by honor, loyalty, religion, and resolved lawsuits, injustices and protected the ladies in disgrace wherever he went.

transformador eléctrico
