Etymology

edit

From Proto-Italic *fortūnā, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰr̥-tew-n-éh₂. Substantivized feminine form of an unattested adjective *fortūnus, from the -tus-derivation *fortus to ferō, + -nus.[1] Ultimately from *bʰer- (bear, carry).

For the meaning development compare with Russian везе́ние (vezénije, luck, good luck) related to везти́ (veztí, to convey, to carry (by vehicle), to deliver, to transport); furthermore cf. Ancient Greek ἡ συμφορά ("fortune, good luck, bad luck") and συμ-φέρω ("bear together; happen").
