hellbound

Destined for damnation

Hellbound describes someone or something destined for hell—either literally in religious contexts or figuratively suggesting a path toward ruin or damnation.

A preacher might warn that sinners are hellbound; a reckless lifestyle might be called a hellbound journey.

The word often carries a tone of moral condemnation or dramatic foreboding: That hellbound fool won't listen to reason.
