The German for 'fade' (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

die

I believe this is a double definition.

'the german' is the first definition.
('the' in German)

'fade' is the second definition.
(fade can mean to die away)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for die that I've seen before include "Expire" , "Stamping device" , "Stop functioning" , "Perish" , "On stage, suffer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
