Plural of destiny; the predetermined or inevitable course of events that will happen to a person or thing.
From Old French 'destinee' (that which is fixed or ordained), derived from Latin 'destinare' (to make firm, establish). The word carries the sense of something already decided or fixed by fate.
Many cultures believed in destiny as something unchangeable, but modern psychology shows we actually have way more control over our lives than people once thought—yet the word 'destiny' remains popular because it's comforting to think some things are meant to be.
