The answer
FLUKE
What fluke means
A stroke of good luck or chance occurrence, or a flatfish with both eyes on one side of its body.
Where the word comes from
From the Dutch *vloek* (flatfish), related to Old Norse *flóki* (a type of fish). The word entered English in the 16th century referring to the flat fins of a whale or fish. By the 1800s, "fluke" came to mean a stroke of luck or chance occurrence, possibly from the idea that catching fish required both skill and chance, or from comparison to a lucky shot in billiards.
