What is sicario meaning?

Sicario is a Spanish term that is commonly used to refer to a hitman or assassin, particularly in Latin American countries. The word originates from the Latin term "sīcārius," meaning "dagger-man" or "assassin." In the context of organized crime, a sicario is often a hired killer who carries out targeted killings on behalf of drug cartels or other criminal organizations. The term gained widespread popularity following the release of the 2015 film "Sicario," which follows an FBI agent as she teams up with a government task force to take down a Mexican drug cartel.
