The process of determining or deciding someone's fate or destiny.
From the verb 'fate' combined with the gerund suffix -ing; 'fate' comes from Latin 'fatum' (that which has been spoken), from 'fari' (to speak).
In ancient Rome, people believed three goddesses called the Fates literally spoke your destiny into existence—the idea that speaking something makes it real appears across many cultures.
