Meanings of "The die is cast"

English

Things can not be changed now. The idea is of a die or pair of dice that have been thrown, but not come up with a number yet. At that point it is too late to change anything.

English

The die is cast is a play on words, from two different English idioms - The two meanings - the first, as explained here - the dice have been thrown, so all you can do is to await the outcome. The second, from Industry, many years ago molten iron was poured into a sand mould, and when it was cold, it was finished by hand. So the die is cast (here), means that the decision has been made, and you have to accept the result of the cast iron mould. Two totally different English expressions which have different sources, but mean that "What will be, will be" !! - Francis Nugent Dixon - lyricist of the song.
