world destiny; course of world events
Rare, somewhat literary term referring to the fate or trend of the world as a whole. Not used in everyday conversation.
The rise and fall of world destiny cannot be predicted by anyone.
Rare kanji compound; the reading せうん is also given but is even less common.
Compound of 世 (world, generation) and 運 (fortune, fate). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; it is a Sino-Japanese word (kango) that appears in older literary contexts.
