Foreordained or certain (8)
I believe the answer is:
destined
This clue is a double definition.
'foreordained' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'certain' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for destined that I've seen before include "Didn't see, being fated" , "Fated, fore-ordained" , "Intended (for a particular end)" , "Designated" , "Intended; doomed" .)
