It's a French word for death. Memento Mori means, I believe, 'memory of death'

i dunno why it is called like that, but if you're wondering what it is if people talk aboit it:
it's a rare killer-offering that lets you instant-kill survivors when they are down.

the yellow one lets you kill the last survivor.
the green one lets you kill any survivor (only 1) that has been hooked at least once.
and the pink one lets you kill all survivors that have been hooked at least once.

if you have downed a survivor, walk up to him and hold mouse1, it will start an animation lasting about 5-10seconds, after that the survivor is dead.

Memento Mori is latin. Memento is "I remember", "Mori" is death.

All in all, it means to remember that one has to die (eventually).

Fits perfectly well with what the Offering is about.

It's not French. "Mort" is the French word for death

It is a stylistic deviced used in literature. Memento Mori roughly means "You need to remember that you die one day"

In this game, the killer can kill you by his own hands if he uses a Memento Mori as an offering, so you have to remember that you will die when he gets you.

It's one of the 3 motives of Baroque literature, along with Vanitas (nothing is forever) and Carpe Diem (Use the day).

Phew I still remember that from literature class at school. At least it's something lol

Thanks, i thought it was French. But then again, it's still a latin-derived language, isn't it? (Linguistics is NOT my area of expertise)

Memento mori was part of a specific ritual in ancient Rome. If the leader of an army returned from a war, that he won, he returned in a parade. He stood on a war chariot. A slave stood behind him, lifted a victory wreath over his head and had to whistle in his ear "Memento mori", "Don't forget, that you are a mortal (and not a God)".
