Etymology

The word 'flukey' originates from the noun 'fluke', which refers to an accidental stroke of good luck or an unexpected event. The term can be traced back to the mid-20th century and is often associated with gambling or games of chance, where outcomes can be unpredictable and rely on fortune rather than skill. The variability in success and the role of chance in various activities contributed to the word's evolution. It is also linked to the term 'fluke', denoting a flatfish, which metaphorically suggests something out of the ordinary, as a fluke is not the usual type of catch. In modern usage, 'flukey' often describes fortunate events that lead to positive outcomes, usually with an implication that they are unlikely to occur again.
