Usage Note
Predestinado functions both as an adjective and as a past participle of predestinar. It carries strong theological overtones linked to Calvinist and Catholic debates about divine election, so outside religious contexts it often feels literary or ironic. The feminine form is predestinada.
Examples
"Parecía predestinado al fracaso."
Natural Translation
He seemed predestined to failure.
