"fortuna" meaning in Latin

See fortuna in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [fɔrˈtuː.na] [Classical-Latin], [forˈtuː.na] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *fortūnā, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰr̥-tew-n-éh₂, a substantivized feminine form of an unattested adjective *fortūnus, from the -tus-derivation *fortus to ferō (“to bear, carry”) or fors (“chance, luck”), + -nus, ultimately from *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”). For the meaning development compare with Russian везе́ние (vezénije, “luck, good luck”) related to везти́ (veztí, “to convey, to carry (by vehicle), to deliver, to transport”); furthermore cf. partly synonymous and cognate Ancient Greek συμφορά (sumphorá, “fortune, bad luck, good luck”) (< σῠμφέρω (sŭmphérō) < φέρω (phérō)).
