Main Entry: 3suicide
Function:verb
Inflected Form(s):
sui·cid·ed; sui·cid·ing
Date:
1841
intransitive verb : to commit suicide
transitive verb
: to put (oneself) to death

I didn't find suicidality, but have seen it used in both peer reviewed papers and textbooks. So I am thinking that may be a word that will eventually appear in the dictionary!
