Etymology[edit]
御 (go-, “honorific prefix”) + 臨終 (rinjū, “dying hour”)
Noun[edit]
- deathbed, dying moment, dying hour, one's last breath
Usage notes[edit]
This is a formal way of saying that a person has died. For example, a doctor would use this word rather than plain 死ぬ (shinu, “die”) when informing someone that their relative has just died.
