短释义
A combination of the Latin inter- (“among”) and necare (“to kill”), internecine conflicts are full of blood and death, and they end up destroying everyone involved, which sounds fair but also awful. Many wars are internecine, as are most Shakespearean tragedies and Hollywood action films. An internecine meeting would be one where everyone gets mad, says really horrible things, and then suddenly leaves, plotting revenge. It’s probably the last meeting for that group, which might be a good thing.
做好准备,因为自相残杀是一个阴郁的词。这是一个形容词,用来形容一场双方都受重伤的血腥战斗。更轻松地说,它也可能意味着导致组织分裂的冲突。

词源
internecine(adj.)1660s, “deadly, destructive,” from Latin internecinus “very deadly, murderous, destructive,” from internecare “kill or destroy,” from inter (see inter-) + necare “kill” (from PIE root *nek- (1) “death”).
Considered by OED as misinterpreted in Johnson’s Dictionary [1755], which defined it as “endeavouring mutual destruction,” but a notion of “mutually destructive” has been imported into the word in English because in English inter- usually conveys the idea of “mutual.” The Latin prefix is said to have had here only an intensive sense; “the Latin word meant merely of or to extermination … without implying that of both parties” [Fowler].also from 1660s

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
internecine(adj.)1660s,“致命的,破坏性的”,源自拉丁语 internecinus “非常致命的,凶残的,破坏性的”,源自 internecare “杀死或摧毁”,源自 inter (参见 inter-) + necare “杀死”(源自 PIE 词根 *nek- (1) “死亡”)。 《牛津英语词典》认为约翰逊词典[1755]对此有误解,该词典将其定义为“努力相互破坏”,但“相互破坏”的概念已被引入到英语中,因为英语中通常传达“相互”的概念。据说拉丁语前缀在这里仅具有强化意义; “拉丁词仅意味着消灭或消灭……而不暗示双方的消灭”[Fowler]。也来自 1660 年代
