Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin 'fatalitat-', from Latin 'fatalis' meaning 'ordained by destiny', based on 'fatum' (prophecy, doom, death). Entering the English language in the late 15th century, the term originally denoted inevitability or a stroke of fate before shifting by the 17th century to specifically mean death or a disaster resulting in death.
