Predestined (8)
I believe the answer is:
ordained
'predestined' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ordained that I've seen before include "Invested with priestly authority" , "Like a priest" , "Elevated to the priesthood" , "Declared to be law or declared to be a priest" , "Laid down the law" .)
