Why this word is great

FORDEEM — [Verb] To condemn, sentence, or doom. From Middle English fordemen, from Old English fordēman ("to condemn, sentence, doom"), from the Proto-Germanic prefix *fra- ("away, completely") and *dōmijaną ("to judge, deem"). Unlike "condemn," a general censure, or "convict," a specific legal finding, to fordeem is judgment crystallized into fate. It is the irrevocable decree from a throne of dark oak, the silent nod of a jury foreman, and the stark terms of a prophecy spoken at a cradle—a word where human judgment becomes the architecture of doom.
