'destination' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'destinatio,' where 'destinare' meant 'to determine or appoint.'

'destinatio' transformed into the Old French word 'destination,' and eventually became the modern English word 'destination' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to determine or appoint,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the place to which someone or something is going or being sent.'
