Word to the Wise: Fatidic
by ETR (01/5/2008)
"Fatidic" (fuh-TID-ik) means prophetic. The word is derived from the Latin for "fate."
Example (as used by Kathleen Cambor in In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden): "With a fatidic clarity that comes only occasionally and only to the young, she understood that… this too was a sign, an omen."
