Étymologie
The word "unfortunately" comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'fortunate,' which derives from the Latin 'fortuna' meaning 'luck' or 'chance.' The suffix '-ly' turns it into an adverb. Did you know? The root 'fortune' originally referred to a goddess who controlled luck, so "unfortunately" literally means 'not by luck.'
