The moment, season, or period when death occurs; the end of life.
From 'death' plus 'time' (Old English tīm). Poetic or archaic term combining two fundamental concepts—death and the passage of time.
In old poetry and religious texts, 'deathtime' appears as a solemn moment—sometimes inevitable, sometimes fearful, but always understood as a definite appointment that everyone must keep.
