<p>'''Determine.'''</p>
<p>To ''determine'' is to set down limits or bounds to something, as when you ''determine'' to perform a task, or as ''determinism'' pictures limits set to man's freedom. ''Predetermined'' follows this sense; but ''extermination'' comes later. Otherwise, existence would be ''interminable''.</p>
