A sicario is a hitman or contract killer who murders for a price. The figure was recognized in Roman law, specifically the Lex Cornelia of 81 BC, due to the extreme cruelty of their methods. The name comes from the sica, a small dagger easily hidden under a cloak. Initially, their work was political: they would stab enemies in public gatherings and then loudly feign grief to avoid being caught. The word literally means dagger-man. (In Mexico, this term is now synonymous with cartel-affiliated gunmen.)
They have hired a sicario to take care of them.
