ETYMOLOGY OF ENGLISH USE

PSYCHOLOGY: death- or thanatos- instinct

"The concept of the death instincts was initially described in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, in which Freud proposed that “the goal of all life is death.” Freud believed that people typically channel their death instincts outwards. Aggression, for example, arises from the death instincts. Sometimes these instincts towards destruction can be directed inwards, however, which can result in self-harm or suicide." https://www.verywellmind.com/life-and-death-instincts-2795847
