fatalness

/ˈfeɪtəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being fatal; deadliness.

Word Origin From Latin fatum 'that which has been spoken' — fate was originally a divine pronouncement, something spoken by the gods. Fatalness is the quality of being destined, often deadly. The root fari 'to speak' also gives us fable (a spoken story), fabulous (like a fable), infant (one who cannot speak), and preface (speak before). The PIE root *bha- 'to speak' is behind phone and fame.
