Original Note:
The word "holocaust", used since 1670, derives from the Greek "ὁλόκαυστος". It is composed of the word "holos" (= whole) and the word "kaustos" (from kaiein =burn). It applies to all situations in which everything gets destroyed by fire, ie "nuclear holocaust" (Hiroshima's). https://www.etymonline.com/word/holocaust
