Feteless

/ˈfeɪtləs/ adjective

Definition

Without fate; not subject to or determined by fate; able to escape predetermined destiny.

Etymology

From fete (or fate, depending on interpretation) + -less (without). The suffix -less creates adjectives meaning 'without' or 'lacking,' as in 'homeless' or 'fearless.'

Kelly Says

This is a philosophical word that would appeal to existentialist thinkers who believe in free will and human agency. It expresses the idea that destiny isn't fixed and that humans can chart their own course through intentional action.
