die
When used as a verb, "die" is often considered very direct. In sensitive situations, people frequently use euphemisms like "pass away" to be more polite or gentle. Regarding the noun form for games, "die" is technically the singular form and "dice" is plural. However, in modern everyday English, many people use "dice" for both one or multiple cubes.
