- ill-fated; grievously unfortunate
Meaning
Health is asked to rescue worshippers from the ill-fated distress of severe diseases at LXVIII.13. The adjective qualifies suffering, not the moral character of the sick. Its force is the grievous lot that illness brings, and it should not suggest blame for that condition.
