Something unfortunate can be described as unfortunate.
Unfortunate is an adjective that is used to name that which is unfortunate, unfortunate, ominous or unhappy . The term has its origin in the Latin aegyptiācus , which can be translated as “fatal day” .
For example: “It was a fateful comment that generated a great stir,” “I don't want another fateful day that makes me rethink so many things,” “A fateful blow left him out of combat.”
What is the unfortunate
The unfortunate is usually linked to unhappy or unfortunate events . If a soccer player, when making his debut with his new team, scores a goal and is sent off, it could be said that he had a bad first game. Nobody expects that a long-awaited moment, which generates hope and expectations, will end in a bad way.
Sometimes, the notion of fateful is used to describe a day or a day that, for different reasons, turned out to be disastrous . An accident that leaves dozens dead can transform an ordinary Saturday into a fateful Saturday. This does not mean, obviously, that all people have directly suffered misfortune on that date, but rather that the magnitude of the tragedy means that, at a general level or in the mass media, people talk about the unfortunate.

Uses of the concept
In the media around the world it is common to resort to the use of the word we are analyzing to refer to the most tragic events that have taken place, such as the consequences of a plane accident, the deaths and destruction that it has entailed. a tsunami or the number of deaths who have lost their lives in a car accident after a holiday weekend.
However, they also use this term, sometimes, with a certain irony . A clear example of this is when people resort to reporting personal mishaps, without any seriousness, that certain politicians have had and that they use in a propaganda way so that citizens identify with them or feel compassion.
The ominous term in culture
Likewise, within music, a concept has been created: the fateful 27 club . It is a term used to refer to the large number of masterful singers who died when they were 27 years old: Jim Morrison , Brian Jones , Jimmy Hendrix , Janis Joplin ...
“El aciago demiurge” , on the other hand, is a book written by the Frenchman Emil Mihai Cioran (1911-1995) and translated into Spanish by Fernando Savater . The idea of a demiurge belongs to Gnosticism and is linked to an entity that is considered the driving force of the universe, but without necessarily being its creator. While Platonism associates the demiurge with imperfection, for Gnosticism it is related to evil.
In the same way, there is also another book that takes the term we are analyzing in its title. The work is “Aciago destiny” and was made by Alfonso Gallego Herrera .
In addition to all the above, we have to say that fateful is a term that takes on special relevance within the world of the famous “Pokemon” video games.
