Assassination is the word coined by William Shakespeare. And this word is used more likely in the murder of well-known personalities. This is a word with a respect.

Assassination is religious or political murder. Assassin is derived from the Arabic word Hashisin and means hashish eater. Fanatic muslims used to take hashish or Mariujana before killing crusaders.

I generally think of 'assassination' as being politically motivated.
Murder is simply either a criminal or malicious act.

When it is someone that is a political figure or someone who has made big changes in people's lives it is an assassination.

Assassinations are done to prominent people for political reasons.

maybe there's more of a conspiracy with assassination, like an organization or group of people wanting to kill a person. Did you look it up in the dictionary?

When they are prominant or at least well-known and their fame may be a factor in their death.
