Etymology
The word 'fortuned' derives from the noun 'fortune', which comes from the Latin word 'fortuna', meaning luck or fate. The concept of fortune has been tied to various mythologies, with Fortuna being the goddess of luck in Roman mythology. As the English language evolved from Middle English to Modern English, the noun began to develop verb forms, allowing for expressions related to the act of being favored by luck. While 'fortune' has retained its prominence in everyday language, 'fortuned' has become more archaic and is primarily used in literary contexts. The transition illustrates how notions of luck and chance were deeply embedded in the cultural consciousness, prompting the formation of a verb that encapsulates the serendipitous nature of life.
