It's ended badly as foredoomed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

destined

'foredoomed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's ended badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'its'+'ended'='itsended'
'itsended' with letters rearranged gives 'DESTINED'.

'as' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
