A philosophical belief that destiny or fate controls human events and outcomes, similar to fatalism.
Formed from 'destiny' plus the suffix '-ism' (a system of belief or practice). This is a modern philosophical coinage paralleling 'fatalism' and 'determinism.'
Destinism is barely used compared to 'fatalism' or 'determinism,' which shows how subtle semantic differences matter in philosophy—'destinism' emphasizes *destination* and *purpose*, while fatalism is darker and more about *doom*.
