Etymology
The word 'die' originates from the Old English 'dīgan', which means 'to die, to perish'. It is related to the Proto-Germanic term '*dai-gan', which also denotes the act of dying. Over time, the term evolved into forms used in Modern English, such as 'die' for the act of death and 'dying' as its present participle. The concept of dying is central to human experience and has been a subject of extensive philosophical, spiritual, and cultural exploration throughout history. Various languages have analogous terms that reflect the universal nature of mortality, often encompassing more than just the physical act of dying, but also the emotional and existential implications associated with it.
