Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how assassine appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Je ne crois pas non plus qu’assassine puisse être pris substantivement ; il n’est admissible que comme adjectif, encore y a-t-il très peu d’occasion où l’on puisse l’employer. Il se peut, pourtant, que du temps de Corneille, il fût reçu en poésie, ou qu’il ait projeté d’en enrichir la langue française : ce qu’il y a de certain, c’est que l’Académie ne l’a…
— Vous êtes des voleuses, des assassines !… C’est un meurtre abominable que vous venez de commettre !
