PERDITION

perdition:

- eternal damnation

- hell

Example: "The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills, and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven. Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!" [Reference: Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby Dick]
