Fortuuned

/fɔrˈtjuːnd/ adjective

Definition

Destined or fated by fortune; having had one's future determined or influenced by chance or fate.

Etymology

Past participle of an archaic or poetic form 'fortune' used as a verb, with the prefix 'for-' possibly intensifying. The double 'u' suggests a scribal or printing variation, possibly from Early Modern English spelling conventions.

Kelly Says

This word is so archaic and rare that it's almost certainly a ghost word—a word that exists mainly in historical texts and dictionaries but was never truly common, possibly created through spelling errors that got copied by later lexicographers!
