Deceased

/dɪˈsiːst/

Origin & History

From Latin *decedere* (“to depart, go away”), via French/Latin forms, leading to English *decease* and later the adjective/noun *deceased* meaning “having died.”

लैटिन *decedere* (अर्थ: “प्रस्थान करना/चले जाना”) से, फ्रेंच/लैटिन रूपों के माध्यम से; इससे अंग्रेज़ी *decease* बना और बाद में *deceased* विशेषण/संज्ञा के रूप में “मृत/जिसकी मृत्यु हो चुकी हो” अर्थ में प्रचलित हुआ।
