"The term 'Assassin' is considered to derive from the Arabic word Hashshashin (Arabic: حشاشون جماعة الحشاشين‎), the Arabic designation of the Nizari branch of the Ismā'īlī Shia Muslims during the Middle Ages. They were active in the coastal mountains of the Levant, then moved to Alamut by the Caspian Sea from the eighth to the fourteenth centuries. This group killed members of the crusaders, Abbasid and Seljuq élite for political and religious reasons, but mostly targeted the Sunni Muslims."

The funny thing is the word "Hashashin" has nothing to do with killing stuff...
