Destined to happen (5)

I believe the answer is:

fated

(Other definitions for fated that I've seen before include "Destined, foreordained (5)" , "Destined - inevitable" , "Suffering a lot" , "Doomed or destined" , "Predestined" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
