Usage Notes or Etymology
Derived from Latin determinare ('to bound or set limits'), the term entered European languages and developed an adjectival form via the suffix -istic (rendered in Indonesian as -istik). The Indonesian form “deterministik” is borrowed from English “deterministic”. Historically the term appears in philosophy (as part of “determinism”), classical physics (Newtonian deterministic systems), and computer science (deterministic versus probabilistic algorithms). Semantically it emphasizes predictability and the absence of chance; In colloquial usage it often simplifies to 'certain' or 'non-random'.
