"Glück" meaning in German

See Glück in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡlʏk/ Audio: De-Glück.ogg , De-Glück2.ogg , De-at-Glück.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German gelücke (12th century), at first along the Lower and Middle Rhine. Probably borrowed from Old Dutch *gilukki as part of the Flemish knight culture; compare Middle Dutch gelucke (1240), whence modern Dutch geluk. (The fact that the word is attested in High German before Dutch must be disregarded in view of the minimal attestation of Old Dutch as a whole.) Further origin unknown. Theories include a relation with Dutch luiken (“to close”) in the sense of “that which is concluded, determined”, or with German gelingen (“to succeed”), which is not attested in Dutch, however. Compare English luck for more.

Probably borrowed from Old Dutch *gilukki as part of the Flemish knight culture; compare Middle Dutch gelucke (1240), whence modern Dutch geluk. (The fact that the word is attested in High German before Dutch must be disregarded in view of the minimal attestation of Old Dutch as a whole.) Further origin unknown. Theories include a relation with Dutch luiken (“to close”) in the sense of “that which is concluded, determined”, or with German gelingen (“to succeed”), which is not attested in Dutch, however. Compare English luck for more.",
