The act of determining or setting the future course of someone or something.
Present participle of 'destine,' from the same Latin root 'destinare.' The '-ing' suffix transforms the action into a noun or continuous verb form.
English's '-ing' form is remarkably powerful—'destining' sounds more active and purposeful than the simple verb 'destine,' which is why philosophers and writers use it when discussing the *process* of fate being set in motion.
