Definition
A legal term meaning 'he/she died' or 'the person is deceased,' used in formal documents and wills.
Etymology
Latin third-person singular perfect tense of decedere (to depart, die). It literally means 'he/she has departed.' This term appears in legal documents from English-speaking countries.
Kelly Says
Lawyers writing old wills would write 'John Smith decessit anno Domini 1892'—it's Latin frozen in legal amber, and you'll still find it in property records and genealogical documents across the English-speaking world.
