A Die is also a metal mold .
You make a mold ..a Die....and you pour molten metal in to it to cast a shape into the shape of the Die.
But first you must cast the Die which is the most difficult part and once done you never have to cast it again. So once the Die is cast that's everything set for a full production run , otherwise all is set and cant be changed. The Die is cast. Nothing to do with throwing dice.

daveindy, Why is it known as a pair of underwear or pants when we only wear one?

This is because English is a polyglot language, a mixed blend of Norse, German, French, Latin and any other "useful" words it finds attractive. "England is the nation of shopkeepers" is a true explanation of the entire history of that island!

But even if we roll one die, don't we all just say, "roll the dice"?

English is taught in European countries for a good reason. Learning French and Italian was so easy.

PlayDollHouse, yes. I feel sorry for people who have to learn English. There’s so many words that double up in meaning & are spelled different ways…
Artie
Simple question but even more so to RPGers

Many of words with odd plurals come from Latin.

I love reading all the irregularities that all of you are coming up with. Keep up the good work.
marimargo
PlayDollHouse, ladies is plural. Gentleman is singular. Proper English should be gentlemen, the plural form.
Just another example of irregular plurals.
