Definition
An abbreviation (usually written in lowercase 'decd') meaning deceased or dead, commonly used in genealogy, obituaries, and legal documents.
Etymology
A shortened form of 'deceased,' which comes from Latin decedere (to depart, to die), combining de- (away) and cedere (to go). The abbreviation emerged for brevity in record-keeping.
Kelly Says
Genealogists and historians use 'decd' as shorthand in family trees and records, and it's one of those abbreviations that tells you exactly where to find it—in dusty archives and historical documents!
