Morituri = from morior, mori (die, expire, wither away, pass away, fail, decay).

Morituri is the future accusitive plural so in the context of "morituri te salutant" could be translated as "Those about to die", but knowing the Roman penchant for mordant (sic) humour, it could equally well be translated as "The living dead".

Someone whose knowledge of Latin is less rusty than mine may beg to differ authoritatively!
