Terrorism is supposed to be the dogmatic or ideologically motivated killing of civilians, often by those who are willing to die in the process. It’s terror inducing because it could seemingly happen anywhere at any time to any one, and it’s a lot easier to cause harm to others when you’re suicidal and not hoping to get away with it.

Of course, that’s not how it’s routinely used, or perhaps was ever really used by anyone except academics.
