Also means
dead
Usage Note
Mort carries real cultural weight: on Toussaint, the first of November, French families lay chrysanthemums on graves, which is exactly why you never offer those flowers as a gift. The same word turns adjective in mort and morte, and it fuels the texting idiom mort de rire, abbreviated MDR — the French 'LOL'.
Examples
"Il a peur de la mort."
Natural Translation
He's afraid of death.
