δισσότοκος
τὸ πεπρωμένον φυγεῖν ἀδύνατον → you can't escape your destiny | there is no escaping from destiny | it's impossible to escape from what is destined | it is impossible to escape from what is destined | what is fated is impossible to escape | if you're born to be hanged, then you'll never be drowned | he that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned | if you are born to be hanged then you'll never be drowned | if you're born to be hanged then you'll never be drowned| you can't outrun your fate | you cannot outrun your fate | you can't stop fate | that's the way the cookie crumbles

[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < δισσός + -τοκος < τίκτω. Ο τονισμός στην προπαραλήγουσα προσδίδει στη λ. παθητική σημ. («γεννημένος από...»), έναντι του παροξυτονούμενου συνθέτου (δισσοτόκος) που έχει ενεργητική σημ. («αυτή που γέννησε...»)].
