Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is the third person singular perfect passive indicative form of the verb κλώθω (klōthō), meaning 'to spin' or 'to weave'. In ancient Greek thought, the Fates (Moirai) were often depicted as spinning the thread of human life, thus the perfect passive form 'κεκλώσται' came to mean 'it has been spun' in the sense of 'it has been decreed' or 'it is fated'. It describes something that has been determined or established by destiny.
