喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Something ill-fated is unlucky in a serious way: it leads to trouble, failure, or death. Writers like it for journeys, ships, love affairs, and plans that went badly and stayed badly. It does more than say 'unlucky'. It has a story-book feel, as if fate itself had already marked the thing. You would not usually call a missed bus ill-fated; you save it for endings that hurt. It is a little literary, but newspapers still use it. From ill + fated — badly fated, marked for a bad end.
