释义 | > as lemmasto die a (specified) death 2. to die a (specified) death: to die by or suffer a particular death.Death probably represents the Old English déaþe instrumental, in déaþe sweltan, Latin morte mori: it was in Middle English also preceded by various prepositions, on, in, a, o, of, by, with; but is now generally treated as a cognate object. In die a death, a was probably originally the preposition = on prep. 1 (see quots. c1200 at sense 2a, c1386 at sense 2a) but came to be treated as the indefinite article. extracted from diev.1 a. with instrumental case, or equivalent preposition.
