OP Supposing you had to coin a word (the more absurd, inkhorn, and Latinate the better) to mean, "to meet with the death of one's father" (not a -cide word mind you, but death by any cause whatsoever) what would it be? I have been given such a term in Korean (a little known Sino-Korean verbositism) and, upon admitting that no equivalent word exists in English, challenged to "make one up".
Thanks for your help.
