The word "morte" comes from Italian, and it means "death". It can be traced back to the Latin word "mors", which has the same meaning. The Latin word "mors" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root "*mer-", which means "to die". This root gave rise to various related terms in different Indo-European languages, including "morde" in Old English and "mort" in Old French, both of which also mean "death". Over time, the Italian term "morte" gained usage in English and other languages to refer to death as well.
