Etymology
Determinism comes from Latin parts de- and terminare, and terminare means 'to set a limit', the same root as the common words term and terminal. So, determinism is the idea that events are 'set' or fixed by limits and causes, which is why it says our actions may be decided rather than freely chosen.
