karmic
What goes around
Karmic describes something related to karma—the idea that actions generate consequences that return to the actor.
A karmic debt is owed for past wrongs; karmic justice arrives when someone gets what they deserve.
The word implies a cosmic or spiritual accounting: There's something karmic about him losing his fortune to a scam artist.
