cutleryfate
/ˈkʌtləri ˌfeɪt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Besticksschicksal (Deutsch) · tenedestino (Español) · destinette (Français)
The fate of forks that leave the drawer and are never seen again.
Cutleryfate strikes the good set: a service of eight becomes a service of five across one memorable year. The lost forks are in the garden, the recycling, and the future. No set is complete, every set is beloved, and the household dines in mismatched honesty, which is cutlery's final gift.
Etym. — cutlery + fate — the destiny of forks, spoken of like Greek tragedy.
