Words: Doom meant Judgement or Law in Old English

So Doom meant Judgement or Law in Old English. That's just kind of weird, don't you think? Word meanings change all the time, but associating law with our current purely negative meaning of doom is pretty sad. Or maybe in the old days, the only time you dealt with a law is when it was coming for you. Still, kinda sad.
