doom: [OE] Doom derives ultimately from *dō-, the Germanic base from which the verb do comes. This originally meant ‘put, place’, and so Germanic *dōmaz signified literally ‘that which is put’. By the time it reached Old English as dōm a more concrete sense ‘law, decree, judgment’ had developed (this lies behind the compound doomsday ‘day of judgment’ [OE], whose early Middle English spelling has been preserved in Domesday book). The modern sense ‘(evil) fate’ first appeared in the 14th century.

doom (n.)youdaoicibaDictYouDict
Old English dom "law, judgment, condemnation," from Proto-Germanic *domaz (cognates: Old Saxon and Old Frisian dom, Old Norse domr, Old High German tuom, Gothic doms "judgment, decree"), from PIE root *dhe- "to set, place, put, do" (cognates: Sanskrit dhaman- "law," Greek themis "law," Lithuanian dome "attention;" see factitious). A book of laws in Old English was a dombec. Modern sense of "fate, ruin, destruction" is c. 1600, from the finality of the Christian Judgment Day.
