wyrd

/ ˈwird / (plural wyrds)


Wikipedia :

(.n) Formed from the Old English verb [weorþan] meaning 'to come to pass, to become'. Adjectival use of wyrd developed in the 15th century, in the sense 'having the power to control destiny', originally in the name of the [Weird Sisters] (The Fates).


Wyrd is a concept in Anglo-Saxon culture roughly corresponding to fate or personal destiny. The word is ancestral to Modern English [weird], whose meaning has drifted towards an adjectival use with a more general sense of "supernatural" or "uncanny", or simply "unexpected".
