Relating to karma; involving the spiritual principle that actions have consequences, or used to describe deserved outcomes.
From Sanskrit 'karma' (action, deed), borrowed through Hindi into English in the late 18th century. The adjective form adds '-ic' to make it modifiable for English nouns.
English borrowed 'karma' from Sanskrit and created 'karmic' to describe deserved consequences—the word represents how Western spirituality adopted Eastern concepts, now so embedded we use it casually to explain why annoying people 'deserve' bad things.
