Why this word is great
PREDESTINATION — [Noun] The theological doctrine that God has foreordained all events, especially the eternal fate of human souls. From Middle English predestinacion, from Old French predestination, from Late Latin praedēstinātiō, from praedēstināre ("to determine beforehand"), from prae- ("before") + dēstināre ("to determine, appoint"). Unlike "fate," an impersonal and blind current, or "free will," the exhilarating anthem of self-authorship, predestination is a sovereign decree of intimate authorship. It is the unalterable script written before the curtain rises, the fixed trajectory of a star laid down at creation, and the silent ink etching a name from eternity—rendering our frantic choices the gentle, inevitable grammar of a sentence spoken at the dawn of time.
