The idiom "a fate worse than death" is used to describe a situation or outcome that is considered to be even more terrible or undesirable than dying. The origin of this expression can be traced back to ancient times when death was often seen as a release or escape from suffering. Therefore, referring to a fate worse than death suggests that the alternative is so horrific that death itself would be preferable.
