Fatidic

Fatidic is an adjective that means of or related to predicting fates. The Latin word Fatum (FAH toom) means ‘what was spoken.’ It gave us the word ‘fate,’ which, in turn, gave us our word of the day. When I saw a three etched on the football team’s chalkboard, I couldn’t help but think there was something fatidic about that number. And true enough, three is exactly how many points we wound up scoring that whole season.
