Decay comes from Old Northern French decair, a descendant of Vulgar Latin *dēcadere, which in turn came from Latin dēcidere, a compound verb formed from the prefix dē- ‘down, off, away’ and cadere ‘fall’ (source of English case and a wide range of related words). Decadence [16] was acquired via the medieval derivative dēcadentia. To the same word-family belongs deciduous [17], from Latin dēciduus, literally denoting the ‘falling off’ of leaves from trees.=> accident, case, chance, decadence, deciduousdecay (v.)late 15c., "to decrease," from Anglo-French decair, Old North French decair (Old French decheoir, 12c., Modern French déchoir) "to fall, set (of the sun), weaken, decline, decay," from Vulgar Latin *decadere "to fall off," from de- (see de-) + Latin cadere "to fall" (see case (n.1)).
