Didn't see Amendment in the cards (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

destined

'in the cards' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'didn't see amendment' is the wordplay.
'amendment' indicates anagramming the letters.
'didnt'+'see'='didntsee'
'didntsee' is an anagram of 'DESTINED'.

(Other definitions for destined that I've seen before include "Intended; doomed" , "Didn't see, being fated" , "Designated" , "Fated, fore-ordained" , "Intended (for a particular end)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
