doomed
Certain to fail
Doomed means fated to fail, die, or meet disaster.
Something doomed cannot be saved: The ship was doomed from the moment it left port.
A doomed relationship has no future.
The doom in question is usually death or destruction, though it can mean any inevitable bad outcome: Their plan was doomed to fail.
To doom is to condemn to such a fate.
