The quality or condition of being fortunate; the state of having good luck or favorable circumstances.
From 'fortunate' (Latin 'fortunatus,' from 'fortuna' meaning 'fortune' or 'luck') plus '-ness' to form an abstract noun describing the state of being lucky.
While 'fortuity' emphasizes pure accident, 'fortunateness' is the warm feeling of blessing—it's not just that something happened by chance, but that it happened in your favor. This distinction shaped how different languages talk about luck and gratitude!
