More fortunate or having a better chance of good things happening; the comparative form of 'lucky.'
From Middle Dutch 'lucke' which may be related to Germanic words meaning to happen by chance. The English word 'luck' entered the language in the 1500s, with '-y' added to make an adjective, then '-er' for the comparative.
Scientists have found that 'lucky' people aren't actually luckier by chance—they notice good opportunities more, they try more often, and they recover faster from failure. So being 'luckier' is partly about having a mindset that attracts good outcomes.
