fortuna

/foɾˈtuna/ · B1 · noun · f

luck

💰🍀 fortuna = fortune + a: same Latin root, Fortuna the goddess of luck

From Latin fortuna, from fors (chance). English fortune is the same word via French, so all three senses carry over: luck, a fortune-teller's reading, and wealth. Swap the final e for an a and stress the TU: for-TU-na.
