Noun. diesis (plural dieses)

adjective, adverbMusic. smooth and connected; without breaks between the successive tones.

bound legato (adv.) in music, "smoothly, without intervals," 1811, from Italian legato, literally "bound," past participle of legare, from Latin ligare "tie" (from PIE root *leig- "to tie, bind").

Die is the singular form of dice. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects. In English, the most common way to make nouns plural is to add an s. If die followed that rule, its plural form would be dies. However, English is full of irregular plurals.

A dice is a small cube which has between one and six spots or numbers on its sides, and which is used in games to provide random numbers. In old-fashioned English, `dice' was used only as a plural form, and the singular was die, but now `dice' is used as both the singular and the plural form.

tied together What does legato mean in music? Legato is an Italian term meaning tied together and is a musical performance technique. Legato is used in music to connect the notes together smoothly.

A curved line above or below a group of notes tells you those notes should be played legato – smoothly, with no gaps between the notes. A slur is a legato line over a few notes which means they should not be rearticulated.

tied together Legato is Italian for “tied together” and means singing with smoothly connected notes, not separated. The voice is a melodic instrument - really, it is the original melodic instrument (meloidia is Greek for singing or chanting). Our role as singers is to tell a musical “story” in the form of a melody.

Is Dice Singular Or Plural? Dice can be used for both singular and plural forms, whereas die is singular. If you roll a die, you are rolling one game piece. If you roll dice, you are using one or more game pieces.

The word die comes from Old French dé; from Latin datum "something which is given or played". While the terms ace, deuce, trey, cater, cinque and sice are generally obsolete, with the names of the numbers preferred, they are still used by some professional gamblers to designate different sides of the dice.
