departedadjective

ra đi

/dɪˈpɑːtɪd//dɪˈpɑːrtɪd/

"Departed" comes from the past participle of the verb "depart," which itself comes from the Old French word "departir," meaning "to go away" or "to separate." The prefix "de-" indicates separation or movement away, and "partir" is related to the Latin word "partire," meaning "to divide" or "to share." Over time, "departed" evolved to specifically refer to someone who has died, reflecting the idea of their separation from the living.
