Etymology
The term 'demise' originates from the Latin word 'demissio,' which means a sending down or a lowering, related to 'demittere', meaning to send away or to put down. In Medieval Latin, it was used in a legal context to indicate the transfer of property. The current English word 'demise' was first recorded in the 14th century, and its usage has evolved to encompass both legal contexts regarding property as well as more informal or literary contexts related to death, making it a versatile term in modern usage.
