decease 是动词，在正式或法律语境中表示“去世”；disease 是名词，指“疾病”。两者拼写相近，但发音不同：decease 读 /dɪˈsiːs/，disease 读 /dɪˈziːz/。不能说“He diseased last year”来表示他去年去世。
decrease 表示数量、程度或价格下降，可作动词或名词；decease 只表示“死亡”，且是较正式的动词。两者拼写相近，但 decrease 读 /dɪˈkriːs/，decease 读 /dɪˈsiːs/。
cease 指停止某个动作或状态，后面常接动名词或不定式；decease 是不及物动词，专指“去世”，不表示一般意义的停止。
