In Game of Thrones S08E04 The Last of the Starks, Euron
captures Missandei and brings her to Cersei in chains.
When Dany agrees to a parlay with Cersei, she demands Dany's surrender in exchange for
Missandei.
Upon refusal, she decides to
execute Missandei and asks for her final words.
Missandei says "Dracarys". Dany has uttered it many times and I am assuming it means "Breath Fire".
But why did she choose this word. It's a word that means something to Dany but as far as I can tell, no meaning to Missandei or the life she had lead.
What was the meaning of Dracarys as relating to Missandei and why did she choose it?
Answer
It means Dragonfire in High Valyrian.
"So I see. Dracarys?"
All three dragons turned their heads at the sound of that word, and Viserion let loose with a blast of pale gold flame that made Ser Jorah take a hasty step backward. Dany giggled. "Be careful with that word, ser, or they're like to singe your beard off. It means 'dragonfire' in High Valyrian. I wanted to choose a command that no one was likely to utter by chance."
ASOS - Daenerys I
As to why Missendei chose those words, it would only seem that she threw defiance in Cersei's teeth. "Dragonfire" might be her last words, but they are very likely to be prophetic since Dragonfire would probably be the last thing Cersei ever sees after what She's done. It is a promise of Vengeance.
This is what the actress says about her last words:
And the Directors have also confirmed it (Tip of the hat to KharoBangdo):
