Usage notes

To the degree that masculine and feminine genders are still distinguished, dood is now generally masculine (cf. des doods, tot in den dood). The masculine is also, historically, the older form. However, in Middle and Early Modern Dutch it was often treated as feminine, which remains in ter dood veroordelen.
