PREDESTINATES Meaning and
Definition
-
Predestinates, as a verb, refers to the act of determining or decreeing in advance the ultimate fate or destiny of someone or something. It is derived from the word "predestination," which is a theological belief often associated with religious doctrines, indicating that certain events or outcomes are predetermined by a divine power or force.
The concept of predestination implies that the course of events, including the destinies of individuals, is established or foreordained by a higher power, such as a deity, before they occur. Predestinates, therefore, pertains to this process of predetermining or deciding in advance the future occurrences or the ultimate ends.
This term can be found in discussions about various philosophical, religious, and theological contexts, primarily within doctrines of certain religious traditions. For instance, in Calvinistic or Reformed Christian theology, the belief in predestination suggests that God has preordained or predestined certain individuals to either salvation or damnation, in accordance with divine will and wisdom.
Outside religious contexts, the term predestinates may be used more broadly to describe situations or circumstances where outcomes seem to be unalterably fixed or predetermined. It is often associated with the notion of being fated or destined, suggesting that an event or outcome was determined prior to its manifestation, regardless of human actions or interventions.

Etymology of PREDESTINATES
The word "predestinates" is derived from the combination of two Latin words: "praedestinare" and "praedestinatus".
The first part, "praedestinare", is a compound of "prae" (meaning "before") and "destinare" (meaning "to determine" or "to appoint"). Thus, "praedestinare" can be translated as "to appoint beforehand" or "to determine in advance".
The second part, "praedestinatus", is the past participle form of "praedestinare", meaning "appointed beforehand" or "predestined".
Over time, these Latin terms were adopted into Middle English and further evolved into "predestinates", retaining its general meaning of determining or appointing something beforehand.
