How Do You Spell FOREDOOM?

Pronunciation: [fˈɔːduːm] (IPA)

Foredoom is a verb that means to predestine or to doom beforehand. It is pronounced as /fôrˈdo͞om/, with emphasis on the first syllable. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /fɔːˈduːm/. The spelling of the word follows the English language's consistent pattern of using "fore" as a prefix meaning "before," and adding "doom" to indicate a predetermined outcome. The addition of the prefix forms a new word with a different meaning from "doom" on its own.

FOREDOOM Meaning and Definition

1. Foredoom is a verb that refers to the act of predetermining or predestining someone or something to an undesirable fate or outcome. It denotes the belief that a particular event or circumstance is doomed to unfold in a negative manner even before it happens.

   The term "foredoom" conveys a sense of predestined failure or misfortune, suggesting that the outcome is a result of an inevitable and inescapable fate. It implies a belief in the power of destiny or a higher force that determines the final outcome.

   The concept of foredoom can be applied to various facets of life, such as individual destinies, collective endeavors, or historical events. It implies a lack of control or agency over the future, as if it has already been sealed with an unfavorable outcome.

   While typically used in a metaphorical or figurative sense, foredoom can also have a literal connotation, such as predicting a bleak future or a tragic ending for someone or something. It can evoke a feeling of inevitability, hopelessness, or resignation in the face of unfavorable circumstances.

   In summary, foredoom encapsulates the notion of predestined misfortune and implies a belief in an unavoidable, negative outcome. It suggests that fate or external factors have already determined the final result without any possibility of altering it.

2. To doom beforehand.

Etymology of FOREDOOM

The word "foredoom" is derived from two components: "fore-" and "doom".

1. "Fore-" is a prefix meaning "before" or "earlier". It comes from the Old English word "fore", which has the same meaning.

2. "Doom" originally stems from the Old English word "dōm", which referred to "judgment" or "retribution". Over time, it also began to encompass the sense of "fate" or "destiny".

Combining these two elements, "foredoom" essentially means "to doom beforehand" or "to predestine".
