Origin
From Middle English dys, plural of dy. See the etymology of die (etymology 2) for furtherFrom Middle English dys, plural of dy. See the etymology of die (etymology 2) for further information. The voiceless /s/ was most likely retained because the word felt like a collective term rather than a plural form (compare pence), and the spelling dice is a result of the pronunciation.
