decreeing
Issuing formal orders
Decreeing is issuing an authoritative order or official decision.
Courts decree judgments, monarchs decree laws, and fate seems to decree outcomes beyond human control: The king decreed that all firstborn sons would serve in the army.
The word carries weight—what is decreed has the force of final authority behind it.
