Thank you for describing the difference.I had heard the second word , but not gone deep into it.
As you have got the meaning of the first,I am trying to give the meaning of the second one - it is more used in legal formal occasions to refer to a dead person and that too in the past participle form. The word which we commonly come across is 'predecease', for example His wife predeceased him, meaning the person dying after his wife's death.
Oh thank you sarala and chinmoy jee for knowing a new thing to us.

I had not heared up to now the second one.
I have learnt it in my intermediate, But after that till now i did not see people using it anywhere
Due to the one word i,e i and e they thought it was the same word.
It's basically a term used in legal parlance and not a common word!

nice explanation
Chinmoy jee what is the parlance it is an word of the law.
parlance ids way of speaking. So legal parlance means the way of language in legal circle. Business or commercial parlance means- way of speaking in business circle. Common parlance- means how general public speak. In common parlance, we say- died. But in legal and official parlance, this is deceased.

Thanks Gulshanji for your elaboration! We must develop a sound base of vocabulary and it comes over a period of time!
today i learn one new word. and the same time i known about the difference between disease and decease. thanks you friends.
really now only heard the second word. My English knowledge is too poor. Have to improve it
Actually second word is used very less when compared to present modern english
Actually people are aware of such words but they get confused and do spelling mistakes. Many of us does not know the proper pronunciation. We do mistake in that too.
Oh! I missed this thread.New learned about the meaning of Disease & decease

Disease is 'feeling uneasy'. Just split: Dis + ease

Decease is ceasing to exist meaning death.
A disease is like an infection in our body and decease means when some one passes away.
