EN: to destine; to ordain
The universe's script for your life. When you meet 'The One' in the most random way, that's 'itinadhana.' When you miss your flight and it ends up saving you from disaster, 'itinadhana.' It’s the ultimate 'meant to be.' This is the verb that fuels countless rom-coms and hugot lines. It’s what you say when things fall into place so perfectly (or so tragically) that it can't just be a coincidence. It's the universe playing matchmaker or scriptwriter.
From Sanskrit साधना (sādhanā), meaning 'means of accomplishing something'. The meaning evolved in Tagalog to 'destiny'.
