Doomed to be honoured in reception (5)
I believe the answer is:
fated
'doomed' is the definition.
('fate' can be a synonym of 'doom')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fated that I've seen before include "Destined - inevitable" , "Predestined" , "Doomed or destined" , "Suffering a lot" , "Destined, foreordained (5)" .)
