necrose
Verb (intransitive): To undergo necrosis; to become necrotic. This means to die or decay, specifically referring to living tissue (such as skin, muscle, or bone) as a result of disease, injury, or failure of blood supply.
The verb "necrose" describes the biological process where tissue dies while still part of a living organism. * The doctor was concerned that the burned skin might necrose if not treated promptly. * Without adequate blood flow, the cells in the heart muscle began to necrose. * The pathologist observed how the infected tissue had necrosed over several days.
