Question

demise n.死亡；转让房产；让位v.让渡；遗赠；转让；死亡 (1) 这一损失导致了公司的倒闭。(2) 他故世后，房子便传给了儿子。(3) 老人死时，财产的让渡问题引起许多争执。 Demise is mostly used in medical or legal language, or when someone wants to sound either formal or euphemistic. The word entered English from French demettre which means "to dismiss," from the Latin word mittere, meaning "let go, send." And you might think, after reading this quote from E. Phillips Oppenheim, that demise sounds somewhat old-fashioned: "That my demise would have been a relief to you I can, of course, easily believe, but the means — they surely were not worthy of your ingenuity."
