The answer
LUCKY
What lucky means
Favored by chance or circumstance in a way that produces a good or desired outcome, or blessed with good fortune.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *lucki*, probably derived from Middle Dutch *luc* (chance, fortune) or Old Norse *lykka* (chance, fortune). Both Germanic sources may trace to a Proto-Germanic root meaning "to close" or "to happen," though the exact path is debated. The word entered English usage in the 15th century and gradually shifted from meaning mere chance to its modern sense of favorable fortune.
