suffer

suffer
   to be killed
   An obsolete use, as in the Apostles' Creed, which tells us 'He suffered and was buried':
    In it is a pyramid erected to the memory of Thomas Lord Lovat, by his son Lord Simon, who suffered on Tower-hill. (J. Boswell, 1773 — Thomas, not Simon, had sided with the Stuart Prince Charles and had his head chopped off as a result)
   To suffer the supreme penalty is explicit:
    As for... the murder of her Indian subordinate... eventually one or two men suffered the supreme penalty. (P. Scott, 1973)
