What word, from the latin fatum and dicere, means "of or relating to prophecy"?

fatum combined with dicere will always be something to do with prophecy, so the answer is indeed fatidic, the latin meaning 'to speak fate'.
do not believe the rubbish about dicere being about dice. it has nothing to do with dice and thats an example of someone speaking when they do not know. as confucious said, 'what is wisdom? saying you know when you know, and saying you do not when you do not'.
dicere is the infinitive form of dico, 'i say' - it means 'to say'

Fatum is the latin word for fate.
I don't recognize the form "dicere" but it's probably a form of the verb dico that means to say announce or pronounce.

dicere is referring to the cast of the dice. It is another reference to fate. I believe pronoia is a reference to prophecy
